PRESIDENT'S WELCOME ADDRESS TO THE 2009 CONVENTION
 - President Ifeanyi Iyegbu

The Issele-Uku association of North America is committed towards the safety and security of our home town and has committed itself towards lending a hand in making our community safer and more secure. The constant harassment and loss of property among our population at home in the hands of armed bandits is a case in point. The Atlanta chapter, under the leadership of Mr. Nkadi Azuh, has taken the initiative to send thirty torch lights to the Issele-Uku development union to enable them serve the security needs of our people.

We have received information that the local main roads connecting Issele-Uku with other near- by towns have undergone major improvements and now transportation between the local towns is much more assessable. We welcome these changes and we look forward to more improvements in our community in the areas of personal safety, electricity, hospitals, drinking water, and improved physical school structures.

Issele-Uku association of North America will continue to engage our illustrious sons and daughters at home and abroad to become more actively involved in the daily lives of our community by sharing their influence and speaking up on issues that are important to the general developments in our community. We still believe that giving back to the community is more rewarding than personal gains.
