Oganiru Umunri was founded on April 14, 2020, the day her first meeting was equally held at Enugwu-Ukwu by five passionate gentlemen. They are: Engineer Sam Oraegbunam, Honorable Christian Ezenwaka, Prince Chikodili Aniefuna, Nze Cyril Okafor and Mr Okechukwu Bulana. Oganiru Umunri is duly registered in relevant government agencies and officially introduced to the authorities of most of the sub-entities of the Umunri Kingdom.

Part of Oganiru Umunri’s agenda is to provide a formidable platform for the socio-cultural and socio-political integration of all sub-entities and appendages of the ancient Umunri Clan to achieve progressive unity and collective celebration of the rich cultural heritage, history, brotherhood and the many divine endowments of Umunri people. Membership of Oganiru Umunri is open to all Umunri people and all persons with genealogical linkage to Umunri clan. Upon fulfillment of the requirements and presentation to the Board of Trustees, the applicant is deemed to be fit for membership in character and pedigree.

The Board of Trustees of Oganiru Umunri approved an annual programme: “Umunri Festival Fiesta” to be undertaken by the organization with the objectives to galvanize Umunri people for a clan wide impact, celebrate and tell the Umunri story, and to recognize Umunri indigenes and friends.

These noble men and women have shown willingness to be stakeholders in the project of the historic unification of the ancient Umunri clan for an all-inclusive development and progress, keeping faith with the motto of Oganiru Umunri: “Heritage, Brotherhood and Clan Preservation.”
