Our Mission
The Future is Here
After ten years of unbroken commitment and presence on the newsstand; ten years of sheer hard work, personal sacrifices
and community service, it is most befitting now to raise the stakes a notch higher, without necessarily relenting or taking a
bow since in the service of motherland there’s no end. Having come this far it’s important to re-appraise our position. We re-
affirm our resolve as we did when Aro News was born a decade ago:-
"That we solemnly believe in Arochukwu. That Arochukwu has enormous potentials which must be galvanized, synthesized
and channeled towards sustainable development. That we, at the Aro News are proud of Aro history, customs and
traditions and are deeply committed to their preservation as integral and indispensable part of our heritage. That truth and
justice are inexorably intertwined with peace, stability and growth. That we are distressed by the dismal collective progress
made in Arochukwu over the years in the areas of provision of social amenities, infrastructure, poverty alleviation, general
suffering, women and youth empowerment, literacy and education, erosion of communal values and norms and so on. That
it seems a spell of lethargy and fatigue has hung over the town for nearly a century dispelling and eroding the awesome
enthusiasm, dynamism, commercial acumen, decency and finesse which made Aro-Okigbo one of the greatest towns in the
West-African sub-region until 1900. That the spirit of the age and time which gave rise to the rapturous strength and
growth witnessed in Aro in the later part of the 19th century, almost resembling a renaissance, just before the colossal
plunge of 1900-1902 must be resurrected and articulated properly if Aro is to take its rightful place in Nigeria.” Perspectives
in Aro History & Civilization…Vol. 1, 2001.
These were our position, vision and drive over a decade ago. That position remains incontrovertibly valid and unassailable
ten years on. Aro News stable has single-handedly championed causes, worthy and integral to Aro’s strategic interests. It
has through its agenda setting role raised issues which added up to development and quality of human life. Issues
bordering on education, primary health care, tourism, peace and security, culture and tradition, sports and youth
development, agriculture and food security, job creation and youth empowerment, politics and corporate social
responsibility, provision of social amenities, financial freedom and accountability and so on – all championed within the
thrust of its editorial policy and beyond. Without sounding immodest, there’s indeed no doubt that Aro News has through
its activities uplifted Aro in the past ten years. There is also no doubt that Aro News has striven to uplift the dignity of the
Aroman – through the provision of a veritable platform for discourse. It closed a yawning gap; enhanced mutual trust and
understanding and gave a voice for the articulation and synthesization of issues in the genuine development of Arochukwu.
The Future
By ceding the rights of day to day running of the Aro News Newspaper to Nzuko Arochukwu proper come January 2007,
and taking up the new challenge of opening and running Aro News International – an online medium, this team has blazed
another trail that will be of immense benefit to Aro. It opens up new vistas, new opportunities, potentials and benefits that
are limitless. It means that Arochukwu has been taken to the global centre stage. Any body can now access information on
Arochukwu from any where in the world. There is now a huge platform for mutual interaction and exchanges among Aro in
Diaspora, those at home and foreigners. This portends huge possibilities; and holds promises that are almost unlimited.
Indeed, the future is here with us, we must seize the opportunity that beckons. Welcome to the world of umu-chukwu.
