A set of by-laws to regulate activities of the Igbo community of Nigeria resident in Ghana has been launched in Accra.
The move is to check recalcitrant members who are giving their country a bad name and to support development activities back home.
The first copy of the document, titled ‘Constitution for the Igbo Community in Ghana’, was brought for ¢10 million by Chief G. N. Mokwogwo, managing director of Worldwide Electricals.
Launching it, Chief Mokwogwo said, “Protecting the image of our country has been of great concern to all Nigerians and it is up to those of us who are seeking greener pastures to serve as good ambassadors.”
He said the Igbos living in Ghana had accepted the challenge to support the regional integration process of ECOWAS and would do everything possible to help in its promotion.
Chief Mokwogwo further said that they were making efforts to assist and support the youth in their endeavours.
The function attracted many Igbos living around Ghana and was supported by their Hausa colleagues from the northern states of Nigeria.
