Former member of the House of Representatives, Chief Sam Onuigbo, says the August Meeting is a unique experience and an avenue for Igbo women, including those in the diaspora, to make their communities better.


Onuigbo who made this statement while speaking with newsmen at the 39th August Meeting of Olokoro Clan Development Union Women Federated (OCDUWF) in Abia said the August meeting is not a mere social gathering for communities that understand its significance, but an opportunity for women to bring their ideas together to develop their communities.
