A group, under the aegis of the Brazilian Descendants’ Arts and Culture Association (BDACA), has thrown support behind President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s new government while seeking external and internal support for him to succeed in office.
BDACA, a registered community-based organisation located in Popo Aguda, Campos area of Lagos Island, is a coming together—in an organised manner—of Brazilian descendants of Popo Aguda both in Nigeria and the Diaspora, as well as the Afro-Brazilian communities around the World.
The organisation, an indigenous Lagos Island community headquartered in the Campos Area Area of Lagos Island, is also organised with the vision to promote unity, social interaction, and development of the community and the mission to promote and preserve the ebbing and fading cultural practises of the people of Popo Aguda through musical, cultural, educational, and entertainment activities.
BDACA made this known after a meeting it held in Lagos at the weekend, where it emerged with a new leadership headed by Major General Adekunle Abdullahi Martins (Rtd.) as its president.
In a statement signed by its Media and Publicity Consultant, Prince Bashir Adefaka, the group also acknowledged the Lagos State Governor, Mr Babajide Sanwo-Olu, and his wife, Dr. (Mrs.) Ibijoke Sanwo-Olu, for being “regularly supportive towards the achievement of the aims and inspirations of the organisation,” even as it equally appreciated the Brazilian Embassy in Nigeria for its support.
Adefaka said that with General Martins (Rtd.), a former Commander of the Nigerian Army Ordnance Corps (NAOC), as president of BDACA, the group looks more vibrant and strategically positioned to guide its activities and direction towards achieving its set goals, having risen to revitalise its standing for better results.
According to him, “other objectives the General Martins-led executive will achieve are institutionalisation of BDACA for efficient internal governance, effective transparency, and accountable management; documentation of all significant and ebbing cultural practises of the Brazilian Descendants’ of Popo Aguda for a sustainable renaissance programme; and preservation and development of programmes and projects with contents that will attract collaborations, cooperation, and sponsorships with Governmental, Non-Governmental, and International organisations.”
“Another goal the retired General will guide BDACA to achieve will also be the need to achieve maximum attention and participation of the majority of Brazilian descendants’ of Popo Aguda both in Nigeria and the Diaspora and Afro-Brazilian communities around the World in all our programmes and projects.
“All of these the group will do side by side with its Board of Trustees: plan strategies, highlight action plans, among others,” the statement said.
