As we slowly wind down a remarkable 2025 and stand on the precipice of 2026, I want to, on behalf of the MUTA Public Relations Office, sincerely appreciate our National Executive Council, State Chapters, partners, volunteers, and every member of the MUTA family.

This year has been one of growth and progress, but it has also been marked by moments of deep loss. We pause to honor and remember our members, loved ones, and community figures whom we lost in 2025. Their lives, contributions, and legacies remain woven into the fabric of MUTA, and they will not be forgotten.

This year has also been one of resilience, and renewed commitment to our shared values.

In this year, we strengthened our bonds, amplified our voice, and upheld the mission of uniting Tiv people across the diaspora.

In this year, through conventions, town halls, scholarships, cultural showcases, and community outreach, we continued to strengthen our bonds and uphold our mission of unity, even in times of uncertainty. Your resilience, compassion, and willingness to support one another in 2025 truly reflect the strength of our community.

None of these milestones would have been possible without your dedication, cooperation, and unwavering support.
As we look ahead to 2026, we do so with hope, gratitude, and renewed commitment—carrying forward the memories of those we have lost while embracing the opportunities ahead.
As we look ahead to 2026, we do so with optimism, purpose, and a collective resolve to build on the strong foundation we have laid together.

May the coming year bring fresh opportunities, deeper collaboration, good health, and continued progress for MUTA and our families.

May the coming year also bring healing and peace.

Thank you for standing together through both celebration and sorrow. United, we move forward.

Warm regards,
MUTA Public Relations Office
