Amid preparations for Biafra Day on May 30, IPOB appeals to WAEC and Nnamdi Azikiwe University to defer exams and convocation ceremonies for safety reasons in the Southeast region.
IPOB emphasizes the significance of May 30 as a day to honor fallen Biafran heroes and heroines, urging institutions to respect the solemnity of the occasion by avoiding public events.
In an open letter, IPOB spokesperson Emma Powerful highlights the historical importance of Biafra Heroes Day and the need for all activities to be suspended in honor of those who sacrificed their lives during the Nigerian-Biafran war.
