The City of East Orange in New Jersey, United States, has entered into a strategic partnership with the Ugwumba Centre in Imo State to promote leadership development, human capacity building and sustainable community development, marking a fresh chapter in grassroots collaboration between Nigeria and the United States.
The partnership was formalised during a meeting between the Mayor of East Orange, Ted Green, and Nigerian philanthropist and founder of the Ugwumba Centre, Uche Nwosu, who was also honoured with the city’s Award for Outstanding Leadership and Human Capacity Development.
The initiative, which will be coordinated by the Ugwumba Centre for Leadership, is expected to facilitate leadership training, skills acquisition, institutional exchanges and programmes aimed at empowering young people while strengthening ties between both communities.
