Kwararafa Forum Unites to Reclaim Heritage and Address Issues
The Kwararafa forum, an indigenous group connected to the historical Wukari Kingdom, announced their intention to reclaim their lost heritage during a pre-event press briefing in Abuja. Prof Yakubu Aboki Ochefu, chairman of the media/publicity committee, stated that the gathering, scheduled for September 19, is the culmination of years of planning.
The Kwararafa people, who reside in about 22 states in Nigeria, aim to raise awareness about their origins and historical significance. Ochefu highlighted ongoing security challenges in regions such as Plateau, Benue, Kogi, Niger, and Taraba states, which have hindered economic activities.
He also pointed out the poor state of infrastructure, particularly roads, as a barrier to utilizing their economic potential. The event, themed ‘Our Heritage, Our Unity, Our Future,’ will bring together Kwararafa descendants to celebrate their heritage and discuss pressing community issues.
