In a bold celebration of identity, sisterhood, and cultural pride, the Association of Female Comrades is set to light up Ibadan with the grand finale of the Cultural Celebration Initiative (CCI) Southwest 1.0 Edition, a vibrant event uniting women across the Southwest in the name of heritage and unity.

Organized by the Office of the National Vice President, the cultural showcase takes place on Thursday, July 17, 2025, at the Forestry Research Institute of Nigeria (FRIN) International Conference Hall, Jericho Hill, Ibadan.
