<\/div>\n
Barely two months after it’s election and inauguration, the new Executive of Uturu Development Association (UDA),Abuja Branch , had at its first meeting on\u00a0 first Sunday of September, 2024, inaugurated four standing committees to pilot the affairs of the association with their terms of reference.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Speaking with the Publisher of Daily Echoes, Mr Ignatius Okorocha on the essence of creating the committees and their terms of reference Chairman of the Association, Comrade Jude Okejiri said,”<\/div>\n
This is the first meeting of Uturu Development Association (UDA).<\/div>\n
\n
You will recall that during our election at our July meeting this year, I promised that I would create committees that will handle some developmental projects that will carry the Association to a higher level.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
“To achieve this giant strides, we created four committees comprising: (a) Constitution Review committee.<\/div>\n
(b) Launch,Award and Investment committee<\/div>\n
(C) Committee on Spiritual matters<\/div>\n
(d) Education and Employment committee.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
“The import of creating the Constitution Review committee is to update our constitution. We need to upgrade our constitution to fit into the current economic situation in the country.<\/div>\n
For instance, at our meeting today, a member raised the idea of upward\u00a0 review of our monthly dues and packages for honouring members invitations based on the present economic realities in the country.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
“And so, the Constitution Review committee will take a comprehensive review of the items in the constitution with a view to address areas that needed changes.”<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Again speaking on the need to engage in membership drive of Uturu people in Abuja into the Association with a view to boosting membership of the association he said,” the essence of creating the Award and launching committee, is based on the present Executive’s proposal to have a Civic\/Event Center in Abuja.”<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
According to the chairman,” it is our resolve that whatever we realized from the launch will be used to acquire a piece of land in Abuja for the Association.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
“We need to have a permanent meeting place\/Event centre in Abuja. We have stayed over 20 years in Abuja and as such owing a property here is\u00a0 an ideal thing to do.”<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Again,on the establishment of Education and\u00a0 Employment committee, the chairman said,”We want to educate our children on the right courses to take in JAMB.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u00a0“The country today doesn’t believe in certificates\u00a0 rather they believe in Sabi-ficate. We want our children to be reading professional courses in the universities so that when they graduate, they can easily get employment.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
“This is why we created education\/ Employment committee to help our children read good courses that will help them get job easily.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
“For instance,\u00a0 the chairman of Education\/Employment committee, assured us that the committee will\u00a0 help us secure scholarships and employment for our people.”<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Continuing he said, ” Why we created the committee on spiritual matters is not because we don’t belong to Christian denominations in Abuja but to\u00a0 further draw us to God even as we gather here as children of God from Uturu town to\u00a0 deliberate on welfare issues and matters that will develop our town, it will also widen our knowledge of God, and improve our relationship with one another.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
“The task before the committee is to\u00a0 nourish us spiritually and strengthen our relationship with each other.<\/div>\n
All these form\u00a0 part of our campaign promises and from the reports coming from the committees, there are indications\u00a0 that we would get good results from their assignments.”<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
On the need to boost the membership of UDA, he said,”it is my firm believe that the results from the committees will not only\u00a0 draw\u00a0 Uturu sons and daughters living in Abuja to the Association but will make most of them to register with the\u00a0 Association.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
“Now, we are doing Nwerennayism and if anything happens to any of us or our relations, members will go for the condolence to the bereave families with a token sum of money.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
“But when the amended constitution becomes operative, it will guide us on the\u00a0 eligiblity of a member to receive benefits from the association.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
“Again,we are embarking on zonal visits to all our zones aimed at boosting the membership of this association.<\/div>\n
With this in mind, I want to assure you that by\u00a0 the time we conclude our visits to the seven zones in Abuja, definitely our membership will grow higher.”<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Also speaking with the chairman, committee on Launching and Award, who\u00a0 doubles as Vice Chairman of the Association, Engr. Cornelius Agah he said ,” our task is to use the award and launching to get all the Uturu people in Abuja and our friends to support our task of acquiring land and building a befitting Event centre, Garden \/meeting place\u00a0 in Abuja for the Association.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
“We want to use\u00a0 this platform to identify and\u00a0 recognize\u00a0 Uturu sons and daughters in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) and its environ who have distinguished themselves in politics,\u00a0 industries, hotels, Education and other fields of endeavor.”<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Engr. Agah further added,”We want to use this platform to unite and draw them close to the Association. This will\u00a0 enable us have a befitting town-hall\u00a0 for our gathering anytime we have meetings or special occasions that require the attention of all Uturu sons and daughters in Abuja to discuss the progress\u00a0 of Uturu people in diaspora in particular and our town in general.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
,”Secondly, we want to use the award ceremony to recognize our distinguished sons and daughters who have excelled in their field of endeavors.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
“We also want to use the proceeds from the launching to buy land in FCT and develop it to our taste and use.”<\/div>\n
