In a significant step towards promoting environmental sustainability and community engagement, the Obijackson Foundation, in collaboration with Okija Bu Enyi, officially launched the ‘Keep Okija Clean’ project today. This initiative aims to foster a cleaner, healthier environment in Okija through awareness campaigns, community clean-up drives, and educational programs.
The launch event, held at St Mary’s Field Okija on March 15, 2025 brought together community leaders, local residents, and environmental advocates, all united in their commitment to improving the living conditions in Okija. The project emphasizes the importance of collective responsibility in maintaining cleanliness and promoting environmental stewardship.

Chief Chinedu Ononuju (Agbaego Okija) National President Okija Bu Enyi Brothers Assembly added, “We are proud to partner with the Obijackson Foundation on this vital initiative. This is just a beginning of new opportunities for Ndî Okija.
CEO Akpoazaa Foundation, Dr Frank Odinaka Igbojindu (Akuyienwata na Okija) stated, Our billboards advert campaign was our own way of promoting and supporting the Keep Okija Clean initiative. Our aim was to remind everyone of their role in maintaining a clean and beautiful Okija.”
