The serene Arogbo-Ijaw Kingdom is about to come alive with colors, culture, and celebration as it prepares to host the maiden edition of the Leadership Festivity Series I — a landmark event that is already being described as a convergence of leadership, intellectual reawakening, and cultural renaissance.

This epoch-making occasion is scheduled for Sunday, September 28, 2025, at the spacious FACM Mega Primary School, Arogbo, and will begin promptly at 12:00 PM.

At the heart of this great gathering is the celebration of Hon. Ebiwoni Tob Loko, Ph.D., the indefatigable Commissioner for Environment, Ondo State, who is also serving as the host of the event. The people of Arogbo-Ijaw Kingdom and beyond will come together to honor his contributions to environmental sustainability, leadership, and community development in Ondo State and across the Niger Delta region.
