OGBINBIRI, DELTA STATE — The National Association of Delta Ijaw Students (NADIS) Worldwide is set to hold its highly anticipated 3rd Mega Elective Convention 2026, beginning tomorrow, Friday, October 30, and ending Sunday, November 1, 2026, at Ogbinbiri Community, Egbema Kingdom, Warri North Local Government Area of Delta State.
The three-day convention is expected to bring together students, traditional rulers, government representatives, community leaders, youth stakeholders, distinguished personalities and members of the Delta Ijaw student community for a major gathering focused on culture, identity, heritage, unity and responsible leadership.
The convention is being organised under the theme, “Our Culture, Our Identity, Our Heritage,” with the sub-theme, “Preserving the Ijaw Heritage for Future Generation.”
According to the organisers, the event is designed to provide a platform for young Ijaw people to celebrate their cultural identity while engaging in meaningful discussions about education, leadership, community development and the preservation of Ijaw heritage.
Three Days of Cultural and Leadership Activities
A broad range of activities has been scheduled for the convention, including educational materials distribution, networking and interactive sessions, elections, symposium, medical outreach, sports and games, cultural and variety night, live entertainment and other social activities.
The organisers say the programme is intended to combine intellectual engagement with cultural celebration, while creating opportunities for participants to interact, establish relationships and exchange ideas on issues affecting Ijaw students and their communities.
The medical outreach and distribution of educational materials are also expected to give the convention a strong community-development and humanitarian dimension.
Election of New NADIS Leaders
A major component of the convention will be the election of new executives to lead the National Association of Delta Ijaw Students (NADIS) Worldwide.
The elective process is expected to provide members with an opportunity to participate in determining the next generation of leaders who will be responsible for advancing the association’s programmes and representing the interests of Delta Ijaw students.
The incoming leadership will be expected to promote student welfare, educational advancement, unity, cultural preservation and responsible leadership within the association.
Promoting Ijaw Culture and Heritage
The organisers have placed significant emphasis on cultural preservation, particularly at a time when younger generations are increasingly exposed to diverse cultural influences.
The convention is therefore expected to encourage young Ijaw people to appreciate their history, traditions, values and identity while taking active steps towards ensuring that the cultural heritage of the Ijaw people is preserved for future generations.
Beyond cultural activities, the gathering is expected to create an avenue for dialogue between students, community leaders and other stakeholders on ways to strengthen youth participation in community development.
Distinguished Guests and Personalities Expected
The convention’s official programme features a number of distinguished guests, special guests of honour, speakers and other personalities drawn from religious, traditional, political, community and student leadership circles.
Among those featured on the official convention programme are Archbishop Dr. Godwin Osroyo JP, Comr. Aweh N. Johnson, NADIS President, Chief Promise Lawuru, Rt. Hon. Emmotomi D. Gouwor, Hon. Chief Emmanuel W., Hon. Alamenumeni, Hon. Florence Bisina, Chief Adowel Binaei, Comr. Godswill Doubra, Nicholas T. Igala, Hon. Spencer Okpoye, Hon. Hestus Ashima, Hon. Gen. Silpere Kambor Aka 7 Sea, Comr. A. William, Revd. (Dr.) Toyah T. Clement JP, and Barr. Amatelomowei, among others.
Their participation is expected to add further significance to the convention and provide participants with opportunities to engage with experienced leaders and stakeholders.
Ogbinbiri Set to Host NADIS Worldwide
As the convention begins tomorrow, Ogbinbiri Community in Egbema Kingdom is expected to welcome delegates and participants from across the Delta Ijaw student community and beyond.
Organisers have described the gathering as more than an electoral convention, stressing that it is an opportunity to strengthen Ijaw unity, cultural pride, youth development, networking and responsible leadership.
With its combination of cultural activities, educational initiatives, medical outreach, sporting events, intellectual discussions and leadership elections, the 3rd Mega Elective Convention is expected to be a significant gathering for Delta Ijaw students.
