The Joint National Association of Persons with Disabilities (JONAPWD), Imo State chapter, elected its new executive officers on January 11, 2025, at the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) Secretariat, Owerri. The election was marked by peace, unity, and transparency.

Speaking at the swearing-in ceremony, Lady Nkechi Ugwu, Imo State Commissioner for Women Affairs and Vulnerable Groups, expressed pride in the peaceful conduct of the election. She highlighted the governor’s satisfaction with the resolution of prior crises that had plagued the association.

Outgoing Chairman, Hon. Dr. Stanley Chinedu Nwachukwu, commended the transparent process and the national leadership’s efforts in restoring harmony before the election. He pledged ongoing support as an ex-officio member, in line with the association’s constitution.

Newly elected Chairman, Barr. Chidubem Ekwelem, celebrated the unprecedented unity during the election. He outlined plans to restore the dignity of persons with disabilities by working closely with the government to implement disability laws and expanding inclusivity, especially at the grassroots.

Electoral Committee Chairman, Ugoenyi Kenneth, attributed the peaceful outcome to God and the collective will of members, who aligned behind a sole candidate for most positions.

National Sports Secretary, Comr. Udensi Ekene, and other attendees, including the association’s National President Abdullahi Usman (represented by South East Zonal Coordinator Hon. Wisdom Kalu), applauded the event as a turning point for the association.

The peaceful election signals a new era for JONAPWD in Imo State, restoring harmony and setting the stage for progress in the organization.
