With 41 days left until "IFEADIGO 2025" of the Association of Community Pharmacists of Nigeria (ACPN), we take a moment to appreciate the essential role played by the “Umuada” women group in our communities. These women serve as a powerful voice in resolving family and town disputes, embodying the spirit of strength, unity, and cultural heritage.

Speaking of the beautiful specimens of Awka, the Umuada are known not only for their influential presence but also for their traditional attire, which often includes striking red coral beads. These beads are a symbol of wealth and heritage, connecting them to their ancestors and cultural roots. The vibrant colors and intricate designs reflect the beauty and richness of Anambra's cultural identity.

Anambra State is hailed as the “Light of the Nation,” a title that recognizes its significance in culture, education, and commerce within Nigeria. The state is known for its entrepreneurial spirit, vibrant traditions, and commitment to progress, making it a vital center for innovation and community development.

If you have a love for appreciating beautiful specimens and the strength of community, ensure to be fully represented at "IFEADIGO 2025" in Awka. Taking place from July 22 to 27, 2025, at the International Conference Center, this conference will be a celebration of professional development and cultural appreciation under the theme, “Technology Integration and Personalized Care: The Future of Community Pharmacists’ Practice in Nigeria.”

Join us as we recognize and honor the contributions of women like the Umuada, who play an instrumental role in shaping our communities, and get inspired by the rich traditions that define our identities. Don't miss this chance to gather, learn, and celebrate together at "IFEADIGO 2025." Stay tuned for more updates as we approach this momentous event!
