The Standing Committees will complement this effort by driving key programmes and initiatives designed to promote Idoma history, identity, and pride.

He said: “The Idoma Hall of Fame represents our collective commitment to preserving the extraordinary legacy of our people. Through recognition, education, and cultural exchange, we ensure that the remarkable achievements of Idoma individuals continue to inspire future generations. Our heritage is our strength, and together, we build a legacy that transcends time.”
