He gave the promise when the Special Adviser to Governor Willie Obiano on Diaspora Affairs, Indigenous Art Works,
Culture and Tourism, Mr. Tony One-Week Muonagor visited him at his Country home Nanka in Orumba North Local Government Area.
According to Chief Okeke-Ogene, harnessing the potential in the Entertainment Industry as well as promoting Igbo language and culture
will no doubt bring the rich cultural heritage of Ndigbo to the lime light.

the language from going into extinction.
