With just 43 days remaining until IFEADIGO 2025 of the Association of Community Pharmacists of Nigeria (ACPN), we encourage you to immerse yourself in the rich cultural tapestry of Anambra State, highlighted by the spectacular Ofala Festival. This royal celebration, hosted by the Obi of Onitsha, is renowned as one of Nigeria’s most colorful and significant festivals, showcasing the state’s vibrant heritage.

A defining feature of the Ofala Festival is the presence of masquerades, known as Mmanwu, which play a central role in storytelling, cultural expression, and community justice during the festivities. These masks are not just for entertainment; they embody the spirit of the community and serve as a vital means of connecting with cultural traditions.

When was the last time you witnessed a proper masquerade performance? At IFEADIGO 2025, you can be sure to experience the energy and artistry of these performers, bringing the spirit of Anambra alive. As we gather for the conference, not only will we discuss vital advancements in pharmacy practice, but we will also have the opportunity to engage with the local culture that makes Anambra State unique.

Join us from July 22 to 27, 2025, at the International Conference Center in Awka, where “Technology Integration and Personalized Care: The Future of Community Pharmacists’ Practice in Nigeria” will be our guiding theme. Together, we will celebrate growth, explore innovations, and enjoy the rich cultural experiences that Anambra has to offer.

Don’t miss this chance to be part of IFEADIGO 2025—a vibrant junction of professional development and cultural celebration. Stay tuned for more updates as we count down to this extraordinary event!
