It is with great honour and a deep sense of responsibility that I extend heartfelt greetings to all cooperative members, stakeholders, and partners on this momentous occasion — the 2025 International Day of Cooperatives.
The theme of this year’s celebration, “Cooperatives: Driving Inclusive and Sustainable Solutions for a Better World,” powerfully reflects the essence of the cooperative movement and its capacity to offer practical responses to today’s pressing global challenges. At Growing Trust MPCS, this vision aligns with our commitment to fostering entrepreneurship, equity, and sustainable development within the VAIA community and beyond.
I take this opportunity to express our profound appreciation to the Akwa Ibom State Government and the Bureau of Cooperative and Rural Development for organizing a well-coordinated training and conference in celebration of this year’s event.
Congratulations to all cooperators, and may this celebration inspire greater unity, innovation, and purpose in the years ahead.
Happy 2025 International Cooperative Day!
