Prince Engr. Dr. Arthur Eze (Ozoigbondu) will be  chairman of Igbo Day celebration holding in Enugu on September 29,  2023.

According to the leaderhip of Ohanaeze, his nomination as chairman is based on his "outstanding patriotic contributions, philanthropy and deep commitment to the progress of Igbo nation."

This year's event has the theme, "Igbo Kunie". The organisers in a letter to Prince Athur Eze stated that the theme of the event is a clarion call for Ndigbo to arise and fulfill their high destiny in Nigeria and the world. The letter further stated:

"It is a charge for the Igbo to awaken to the principle of Akuluouno; to galvanise themselves towards a common purpose and to rediscover and embrace the core traditional Igbo values of one-in-brotherhood.

"It is also a call for Ndigbo to have a rethink on the security situation in Igbo homeland and unite against the challenge of  self immolating sit-at-home order."

Ichie Sir Izuchukwu Nwabueze (Ichie Chinemeze N'Ukpo), the Principal Secretary to the Igwe of Ukpo confirmed the invitation and disclosed that Prince Eze has accepted to chair the event.
