Tom Adaba Legacy Centre Okene
Protecting cultural heritage and empowering women and youth are at the core of that we do , and a place like the Tom Adaba Legacy Centre is where we plan to call a home. The vision of building a center of knowledge in the heart of Okene is fully endorsed by the Ohinoyi of Ebiraland, the Ebira Traditional Council and people of Ebiraland. The Centre has formed various partnerships with various local and international organisations to bring this vision to life. They include: Africa-Related, Ita’i Our Cloth, Mark Anuma Medical Mission and others. The Legacy Centre is a cultural place, with training facilities for vocational trades like weaving. The Okene G.R.A location is strategic and accessible to all. Partnership development programs for this project is currently ongoing.
