The Centre, a community support project of the RA Ladies Association, is designed to preserve and promote indigenous Ibani crafts, including traditional attires, wrapper-making, bead-making, cane crafts and other traditional skills, while equipping women and youths with skills for economic empowerment.

Speaking at the opening ceremony, the Leader of the RA Ladies Association, Dr. Mrs. Ijeoma Omeoga, said the initiative was driven by the need to preserve Ibani heritage and transfer valuable traditional knowledge to younger generations.

The Vice Chairman, Hon.

The initiative marks another significant step towards preserving Bonny’s rich cultural heritage while creating practical pathways for skills development, entrepreneurship and economic empowerment.
