Jason Jackson

Mayor of Islington and Councillor for Holloway ward. 🇬🇧🇳🇬🇪🇺

[Pastor Umo Eno @_PastorUmoEno]

Today, I welcomed Mayor Jason Utitofon Jackson of Islington, UK, and his family to Government House, Uyo.

Mayor Jackson, a proud son of Ika LGA, has achieved something truly remarkable, showing our young people that with focus and passion, there are no limits to what they can achieve. His story is a beacon of hope and a reminder that Akwa Ibomites can excel anywhere in the world.

I encouraged him to partner with us on programs that will expose children from our rural communities to opportunities abroad, inspiring them to dream bigger. We are incredibly proud of him and will continue to celebrate and support Akwa Ibom indigenes who make a global impact.

Today, my wife, Unoma and I, proudly received in courtesy, an Akwa Ibom son; The Mayor of Islington, Cllr Jason Utitofon Jackson and his family in Abuja.
Jackson was born in Nigeria and grew up in Hackney, East London, where he studied at City and Islington College.

And what are the chances – I met another Islington mother who’s been living here for 40 years, and it turns out she’s from the very same place as my mum. Islington is full of beautiful surprises. ❤️

I had the pleasure of opening the new @NLondonHospice charity shop on Upper Street, a brilliant space supporting the charity's work in end-of-life care.

Another amazing #PennRoad Garden Party 🌸🌞 Nothing beats the joy of community coming together, laughter, love, and neighbours united. This is what belonging looks like.

[St Mungo's @StMungos]

This week, local councillors and partners joined St Mungo’s to celebrate the major refurbishment of one of our care homes, completed by volunteers from @MaceGroup and @MaceFoundation.

"This is not just a beautiful building but a home for our residents. Mace’s generous refurbishment has helped make it even more comfortable and welcoming for them." - Emma Haddad, CEO

This morning, I had the pleasure of joining Duncombe Primary’s Fathers and Male Carers Coffee Morning. As a father, it meant a lot to connect with others navigating fatherhood in Islington. Let’s keep building spaces where men can talk, share, and feel supported.

Today, we marked #ArmedForcesDay by raising the flag above the Town Hall.

[Islington Mayor @IslingtonMayor]

Today at the Jean Stokes Community Centre we marked #WindrushDay with a powerful celebration of kinship culture and care. We honoured the Windrush Generation and the legacy of kinship care in Afro-Caribbean families past and present.

Yes, I did jump in to dance too 😁🖤

It was great to attend the Learning Disability Sports Day organised by the @ElfridaSociety. Sport really matters to young people. @abbey_jon @IslingtonMayor @UnaOHalloran @IslingtonBC

Yesterday at @Google HQ, I met Zoe Stern, Head of Community Affairs Europe, during their Community Training Day. We discussed AI and strengthened ties with @IslingtonBC and @isgiv, my charity of the Year. Looking forward to exploring inclusive community partnerships in Islington.

Yesterday I spoke at the @IslingtonBC Refugee week event. Islington remains a borough of sanctuary, and I'm proud to be an Islingtonian with African roots.

Congratulations to my bro @JasonUJackson, the new Mayor of Islington. I have known Jason for almost 15 years; in that time he has worked really hard to establish himself as a voice to be reckoned with. This is progress for the British Nigerian community in England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 ❤️🎉
