Abia State is proud to announce the launch of its new official logo, a dynamic representation of our state’s rich cultural heritage, strength, and forward-looking spirit. This new emblem incorporates significant symbols from Igbo mythology and worldview, reflecting the diverse and profound meanings they hold within our culture.
The new logo features:
– **The Eagle (Ugo)**: Representing strength, courage, wisdom, power, and freedom.
– **The Leopards (Agu)**: Signifying confidence, power, intelligence, and swiftness.
– **The Elephant (Enyi)**: A symbol of loyalty, grandeur, and majesty, echoing the Igbo adage “uwa bu ahia” (the world is a marketplace and it is big).
The design is segmented into four distinct parts, each with its own symbolism:
1. **Okpu Agu**: Signifying Oha Ndi Igbo (the general populace of the Igbo people).
2. **A Crane and a Gear**: Representing technological advancement.
3. **A Book**: Emblematic of academic and educational progress.
4. **A Palm Tree**: Denoting agricultural prowess.
This new logo replaces the former one, which can be viewed (https://www.tekedia.com/the-new-abia-state-logo-prosperity-through-enterprise/). While the introduction of a new logo alone will not address infrastructural challenges such as bridge repairs or providing constant electricity, it serves as a rallying symbol for all Abians to unite and work towards a brighter future.
The meanings of the symbols in the new logo have been shared widely, with credits extended to the creator(s) whose insights were circulated via WhatsApp.
