Organisers have revealed plans to host the much awaited ASA DAY 2024 celebration in November, in a grand style.
The CEO, Queen Temitope Adeshina in a media chat said the annual event seeks to celebrate Africa’s rich culture and tradition and has over the last 3 years recorded great success.
She explained: “The event is regarded as the biggest celebration to be organized by any diasporan community in the United States.
At first, people where sceptical to be part of it, because of the huge financial commitment and human dedication it required.”
The convener stated further that the project has been successful due to efforts of impressive organizing members, who believed in her dreams of a United Nigeria and supported the project.
