Excitement is building in Ebonyi State as fans, political leaders and entertainment stakeholders prepare to welcome Nollywood actress and entrepreneur, May Yul-Edochie, for a grand homecoming celebration and the official launch of her beauty brand.
The highly anticipated event is scheduled for March 29, 2026, at the iconic Pa Ngele Oruta Township Stadium, located in the Kpirikpiri area of Abakaliki.
Organisers said the celebration is expected to attract a large turnout of admirers, community leaders, public officials and entertainment personalities from across the country.
The event is being positioned not only as a brand launch but also as a symbolic homecoming for the Nollywood star, whose growing influence in both the entertainment and entrepreneurial spaces has earned her widespread admiration among young Nigerians.
Speaking ahead of the celebration, Ebonyi State Commissioner for Human Capital Development and Monitoring, Ann Aligwe, described the occasion as a moment of pride for the state.
According to her, the homecoming offers an opportunity for Ebonyi people to celebrate one of their own whose achievements in the creative industry have projected the state’s image beyond its borders.
She called on residents, youth groups and women organisations across the state to turn out in large numbers to give the actress a warm reception.
Industry observers noted that May Yul-Edochie has, in recent years, evolved from a Nollywood screen personality into a lifestyle and beauty entrepreneur, building a growing brand that resonates strongly with young women and aspiring creatives.
The forthcoming launch of her beauty line is therefore expected to combine elements of glamour, culture and entertainment, with organisers hinting at musical performances, celebrity appearances and interactive sessions designed to celebrate creativity, entrepreneurship and female empowerment.
For many fans in Ebonyi and beyond, the homecoming represents more than a celebratory gathering; it is also a recognition of the rising influence of local talents who continue to make their mark on the national stage.
As preparations intensify, anticipation continues to mount across Ebonyi State, with residents and fans eagerly counting down to what organisers have described as a landmark celebration of talent, enterprise and homegrown success.
