The Ikale World Congress (IWC) has reiterated the need to bring younger people onboard in the bid to develop the Ikale nation at home and Diaspora, saying it is a viable agent of socialisation from one generation to the other.

The newly-elected President of the association, Olayinka Ibitoye, who said this at the 2023 yearly convention and dinner night held, at the weekend, in Philadelphia, U.S., said it would help to push the frontiers of the Ikale people globally.

Ibitoye leveraged the success of the association in the near future on the involvement of the younger generation, affirming that it is the only way to enhance continuity and consolidation on past achievements.

She said: “The mission of IWC is to collaborate with one another with love and work tirelessly with passion to facilitate sustainable projects that generate traffic, as well as to enlighten the Ikale citizens and enhance development across the region.

“Objective of the Congress is to promote unity among Ikale people worldwide to preserve and promote Ikale cultural heritage, and to provide humanitarian assistance to Ikale communities worldwide.”
