As consultations intensify towards the seamless hosting of the 2024 “Tiv Day Cultural Festival” in Lagos, more dignitaries are being visited and handed their official invitations to the anxiously awaited annual event.
This year, the glamorous cultural exhibition will take place from December 5 to 7 at the LTV Blue Roof Events Centre, located in the Agidingbi area of Ikeja, the Lagos State capital.
According to a statement signed by Engr. John Terfa Mka, who is head of the media and publicity sub-committee for the upcoming event, on Monday, the chairman central planning committee (CPC) for the festival, Mr Daniel Kajo, led other members of the CPC to a key consultation visit to former managing director of the defunct AfriBank, High Chief Raymond Ihyembe, to formally present him with his letter of invitation to the event and also brief him on the plans and milestones already achieved in the planning.
Those on the delegation included Engr. Theophilus Terkura Ukaa, the President of Mzough U Tiv Lagos (MUTLA) and organizers of the festival; Honourable Isaac Azer Chado, CPC secretary; and Engr. John Terfa Mka, the spokesperson of the contingent.
In their remarks, High Chief Ihyembe and his wife expressed their confidence that the association will grow stronger and continue to impact positively on the Tiv people in Lagos and beyond. The former AfriBank MD also pledged his unalloyed support for the forthcoming event as well as his active participation.
Translated to mean Mutual Union of Tiv in Lagos, Mzough U Tiv Lagos (MUTLA) is a non-political socio-cultural association that aims to foster love, unity and development among the Tiv people.
