“This congress serves as a gathering of Okun Sons and Daughters, both at home and in the diaspora, who are deeply committed to the sustainable development and advancement of Okunland, our ancestral homeland,” Chief Mokikan stated.
All members of the Okun Development Association are encouraged to mark their calendars and make arrangements to attend this important event, as their contributions and active participation are essential in charting the course for the future of Okunland and its people.
Meanwhile, Nigeria’s pioneer High Commissioner to Sri-Lanka, Ambassador Akenson Rotimi has declared his intention to succeed Chief Femi Mokikan as Predident-General of the ODA.

identify and pursue the collective dreams and aspirations of the Okun people.
