The Committee of Friends for Humanity (COFFHA) has announced two significant developments that mark an important and promising chapter in the organisation’s continued service to humanity, a N300 million skill acquisition campaign and investiture of the new president.

In a statement titled ‘Build the Future today’ COFFHA said it is delighted to announce that on Sunday, June 14, 2026, Mrs. Augustine Igbokwe will be formally invested as the new President of the Committee of Friends for Humanity. “This investiture marks a proud and historic milestone for the organisation, and COFFHA looks forward to the fresh vision, energy, and dedication she brings to this esteemed role.

“Mrs Augustine Igbokwe’s appointment reflects COFFHA’s unwavering commitment to purposeful and compassionate leadership. Her wealth of experience and deep passion for humanitarian service position her exceptionally well to guide the organisation into its next phase of growth and impact,” the statement said.

On the N300 million skill acquisition campaign, the statement said: “Alongside this leadership transition, COFFHA is officially launching a fundraising campaign to complete the construction and full equipping of its Skill Acquisition Centre, a facility purpose-built to provide practical vocational training and economic empowerment to youth, women, and underserved members of the community.”

Igbokwe said that COFFHA is calling on individuals, corporations, philanthropists, faith-based organisations, and all well-meaning members of society to partner to raise the money for the project.

According to her, “Once fully operational, the Centre will equip beneficiaries with marketable skills, foster self-reliance, and create pathways out of poverty for countless families. Every contribution, no matter the amount, is a direct investment in the lives of people who need it most. When communities come together, transformation follows,” she added.

On how to donate, she encouraged individuals and organisations to obtain bank details, or stay informed about the investiture ceremony and fundraising campaign, or visit the official website at www.coffha.org.
