Speaking more on the festival, Aguoji, first female president, said “CISA festival is a global platform for showcasing the beauty of Igbo cultural heritage, through live entertainment, Igbo cuisines, arts and craft exhibitions as well as cultural performances.”
She noted that the reconnection and naming ceremony rituals by which the Igbo in America are reconnected with their Igbo families is the binding cord of the festival.
Aguoji urged lovers of culture to participate in the event, noting that the 2025 festival in its 12th edition “will be a unique cultural exposition of Ndigbo outside Nigeria.”
