Africa Day 2024: Celebrating Africa with pomp and pageantry

A citadel of learning and a leading african financial institution rolled out the drums on Saturday, May 25, in separate celebrations to mark this year’s International Africa Day. At the University of Uyo, the celebrations were full of pomp and pageantry.

Africa Day is celebrated every May 25; the birthday of the Organisation of African Unity . It was on May 25, 1963, that the leaders of the then 32 independent African states signed a founding charter in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, which brought the OAU into existence. In 2002, the OAU established its own successor, the African Union , and adopted May 25 every year to celebrate Africa and highlight the continent’s continued struggle against neocolonialism, exploitation and adversity.

Access Holdings is also celebrating the 2024 Africa Day in a big way. Aligning with this year’s theme, the leading African financial group will once again host the Access Bank/UNICEF Charity Shield Polo Tournament starting from the Children’s Day Anniversary on May 27, 2024, in Kaduna.

A beacon of democracy and economic growth in West Africa, Ghana is widely celebrated for its rich history, including the Ashanti Kingdom and significant cultural festivals. Access Holdings operates in these African nations, contributing uniquely to the continent’s narrative, from historical landmarks to modern achievements in various fields.

The success of the early church was underscored by the fierceness of the opposition they faced, and the persecution they experienced. In one instance, a notable disciple, Stephen, was accused of speaking blasphemous words against Moses, against God, against the temple and against the law .
