Welcome to Ime Obi Onitsha

I believe that this two-way effort will enhance the ongoing process of ensuring that Onitsha Ado N’du meets the challenges of the 21st century.

It is particularly important that this continuous dialogue is sustained, given that the millennium is one of rapid change, driven by digital technology that is transforming the world into a global village.

I am optimistic that our constant interaction will be to our mutual benefit.

Finally, we should endeavour to use the website and the associated social media assets responsibly with due sensitivity and respect for the feelings of others.

Thank you and God bless.
