Dr. Nkem Mordi Kenneth Appointed as Liaison Officer and Programme ambassador for AkuruoUlo in Lagos and Western Nigeria

Lagos, Nigeria — In a bold and strategic move to deepen its footprint across Nigeria’s western region, AkuruoUlo Media International and the AkuruoUlo Global Movement are proud to announce the appointment of Dr. Nkem Mordi Kenneth as the Liaison Officer for Lagos and Western Nigeria, as well as the Programme Ambassador for the organization.

This appointment represents a milestone in the organization’s ongoing mission to expand its influence and foster socio-economic development across the country, particularly within Igbo communities in the diaspora and across Nigeria.

A Trailblazer in Medicine and Community Development

Dr. Nkem Mordi Kenneth is widely recognized for her multifaceted career and leadership in the healthcare sector. A highly respected medical practitioner, she has amassed substantial experience in both public service and private healthcare practice. Her dedication to excellence, community health advocacy, and youth mentorship has earned her respect across professional and civic circles.

More than just a healthcare professional, Dr. Mordi is known for her energetic leadership style, visionary thinking, and remarkable ability to connect people and ideas across cultural, professional, and regional lines. Her influence extends beyond medicine, as she actively engages in community-based initiatives focused on empowering marginalized populations and promoting inclusive development.

In her new dual role as Liaison Officer and Programme Ambassador, Dr. Mordi is expected to leverage her professional network, administrative acumen, and grassroots engagement skills to drive the AkuruoUlo agenda across Lagos and neighboring western states.

Strategic Initiatives on the Horizon

As part of this new chapter, Dr. Mordi will spearhead a lineup of high-impact programs aimed at fostering economic growth, technological innovation, and community solidarity. Under her leadership, the AkuruoUlo Global Movement will roll out a series of region-specific events and initiatives, including:

  • AkuruoUlo Business and Investment Summit
    This flagship event aims to connect Igbo entrepreneurs and investors with opportunities for business expansion and collaboration. By fostering dialogue between seasoned investors, emerging business owners, and policymakers, the summit seeks to unlock economic potentials and build sustainable enterprises within and beyond the Igbo community.

  • AkuruoUlo Transporters and Traders Summit
    Recognizing the pivotal role of traders and transporters in regional commerce, this summit will focus on streamlining logistics, enhancing safety standards, and exploring opportunities for digital transformation in traditional trade networks.

  • AkuruoUlo ICT and AI Summit
    This initiative is set to position the Igbo youth at the forefront of the Fourth Industrial Revolution. It will feature workshops, panels, and training sessions on artificial intelligence, coding, cybersecurity, and emerging technologies. The aim is to bridge the digital divide and prepare young professionals for the global tech economy.

  • AkuruoUlo Global Fundraising Summit
    This summit will gather philanthropists, development partners, and thought leaders to support social impact projects within the Igbo community. The event will also highlight success stories, best practices, and the critical importance of diaspora engagement in nation-building.

Each of these initiatives aligns with AkuruoUlo’s broader mission to “bring wealth home” — a guiding philosophy that champions the return of investment, innovation, and leadership to local communities.

A Symbol of Unity and Pan-Nigerian Collaboration

Dr. Mordi’s background reflects the rich cultural diversity and unity that the AkuruoUlo Movement celebrates. A native of Anambra State in southeastern Nigeria and married into Delta State in the South-South region, she exemplifies the values of cross-regional collaboration, mutual respect, and national integration. Her appointment is a reminder of the interconnectedness of Nigeria’s various ethnic groups and the possibilities that can emerge from working together.

Speaking on her appointment, Dr. Mordi expressed gratitude and a firm commitment to her new responsibilities:

“I am deeply honored to take on this role with AkuruoUlo. This movement represents something truly transformational — a call to return, rebuild, and reinvest in our communities. I look forward to working with partners across Lagos and the western states to bring these bold ideas to life.”

Advancing a Vision of Inclusive Growth

The appointment of Dr. Mordi is not merely symbolic; it represents a calculated and forward-thinking approach to governance, outreach, and sustainable development. With a strategic location like Lagos — Nigeria’s commercial capital — as her base, she will be instrumental in expanding AkuruoUlo’s presence, building partnerships, and amplifying the voices and aspirations of the Igbo people in the diaspora.

This development also comes at a time when Nigeria faces mounting economic and social challenges, from youth unemployment to infrastructural deficits. The AkuruoUlo Global Movement believes that home-grown solutions, driven by leaders like Dr. Mordi, are key to addressing these issues and creating a future that is inclusive, innovative, and impactful.

The AkuruoUlo Movement continues to inspire Nigerians at home and abroad to channel their resources, knowledge, and influence back into their roots — not merely as a nostalgic act, but as a powerful strategy for collective upliftment.

With this new appointment, the movement signals a renewed commitment to regional equity, gender inclusion, and youth empowerment. It also underscores the importance of involving professionals and community leaders who understand the unique dynamics of the regions they serve.

Looking Ahead

As Dr. Nkem Mordi Kenneth assumes her responsibilities, stakeholders across the western region and beyond are optimistic that this new phase will usher in a wave of transformation. The AkuruoUlo Global Movement is confident that her leadership will not only deepen its presence in Lagos and western Nigeria but also galvanize new supporters and change agents across the country.

This marks yet another vital step toward realizing AkuruoUlo’s core vision — to create a self-sustaining ecosystem of empowerment, entrepreneurship, and excellence that spans Nigeria and the global Igbo diaspora.
