WHEREAS, The attendees of ICAN's business banquet have much | ||
to gain from the insights that these highly accomplished | ||

Nigerian Americans in the Metroplex; now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 86th Texas | ||
Legislature hereby commemorate the Igbo Community Association of | ||
