The Ipapo Descendants Union (IDU) is thrilled to announce its 52nd annual celebration, scheduled to take place from November 8th to 10th, 2024, at the Ifebasiri Cooperative Building in Ile Mole, Ipapo, along Owode Road. This yearly event serves as a significant gathering for Ipapolites both at home and abroad, celebrating heritage, unity, and progress within the community.
In preparation for this highly anticipated occasion, the IDU executive committee has been actively engaging members and encouraging widespread participation. Recognizing the importance of this gathering, the IDU leadership has been raising awareness about its purpose and long-term goals for the community. Following the 2022 Ipapo Day, the IDU national body launched a fundraising initiative aimed at renovating the Ipapo town hall, an effort that has garnered considerable support from Ipapolites globally. This project aims to provide a fully functional and welcoming venue for future gatherings and community events.
