This past Saturday, I presided over the final meeting for the year of our Anambra Corpers Forum here in Abuja. As I sat there, I was just filled with a deep sense of gratitude.
Honestly, when I first moved to Abuja and settled in around May, this idea just kept nudging at my heart. I felt we needed an association for all of us from Anambra serving here. It was a simple thought, but one I couldn't shake off. And look at us now. By God’s grace, that thought became this beautiful forum.
We found our rhythm, meeting faithfully every second Saturday of the month. Each gathering felt like a little piece of home.
One of our proudest moments was in October, with our Girl Child Outreach project. It’s something special, and I believe we’re the only corpers’ forum in Abuja that took on something like that this year. It wasn’t just an event; it was a statement of who we are.
Ndi Anambra!!!!!!
At this last meeting, I had to thank my incredible Exco team. They’ve been my right hand, sharing the load and the vision without complaint. And to every member who showed up, meeting after meeting, rain or shine, their steadfastness is the backbone of this forum.
A special shout-out to our Vice President, Vivy Adaobi Okafor, and her kitchen team. They treated us to the most amazing fried rice, salad, and pepper chicken. The taste is still lingering anyway And of course, our brothers Hon. Kingsley Okeke and Hon. Uchenna Harris Okonkwo, alongside every member who contributed in any way to make that evening possible
thank you.
My thank you also go to everyone, both within and outside our forum, who supported us this year. You know yourselves. May God bless you richly for standing with us.
To my greatest surprise, the forum members turned the appreciation back on me. The things they said about my leadership… it was humbling. It reminded me of a belief I’ve always held quietly: that perhaps my destiny is to be a creator of connections, a gatherer of people. That maybe I was built for this: to bring us together and to lead.
As we wrap up this year, my promise is simple: I will finish well. All the glory for anything we’ve achieved goes right back to God, where it belongs.
With a grateful heart,
