Women from Olamaboro LGA in Kogi State gather in Abuja to foster unity, culture and community development
Members of the Abuja branch of the Olamaboro Sisters Forum came together on Sunday for their first picnic at Millennium Park, Abuja, in a lively gathering aimed at strengthening bonds among women from Olamaboro Local Government Area of Kogi State.
The event was filled with music, cultural interaction and moments of fellowship as sisters living in the FCT met to celebrate their shared heritage. Described by participants as an exciting and memorable outing, the picnic marked the beginning of more planned engagements by the forum in the capital city.
The Olamaboro Sisters Forum is a socio-cultural and development association of women from Olamaboro, popularly known as “The Palm Land” for its rich agricultural heritage. The group has coordinators across all states in Nigeria, including the FCT, and in the diaspora, with a mission to unite Olamaboro women, preserve cultural values, and drive development projects back home.
Hometown associations like this have become a vital part of community life in Nigerian cities, offering women a sense of belonging away from home while creating structures to support one another and give back to their communities.
“Come let’s bond in love and bring good name and development to our beautiful Olamaboro Local Government, The Palm Land”
Through regular meetings and outreach, the forum says it hopes to mobilize resources for education, health and empowerment initiatives in Olamaboro, while also providing welfare support for members and projecting a positive image of the LGA nationally and abroad. The Abuja branch has called on all Olamaboro women worldwide to join the movement.
