The 2026 Annual Conference of the NBA-SPIDEL draws to a close today, Friday, 13th November 2026, with the Abia Heritage Experience.
Take-off is at 9:00 a.m. from the International Conference Centre, Umuahia, Abia State. The tour, scheduled for 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., is to be coordinated by the LOC.
The final day combines optional tourism/cultural experiences with delegate departures.
