Abigail Marshall Katung has made history as the first African Lord Mayor of Leads, breaking down barries and paving the way for others to follow in her footsteps. Born on December 7, 1975, in Zaria, Kaduna State, Nigeria, Katung’s journey to the top has been nothing short of remarkable.
Katung arrived in UK in 2000 to pursue her postgraduate studies in Politics and International Studies at the University of Leeds. This move would prove to be a turning point in her life, shaping her future and ultimately leading her to become a prominent figure in British politics.
As Lord Mayor, Katung is committed to working tirelessly to ensure voices are heard from all areas of the city and every triumph is recognized and celebrated. She has chosen the Leeds Community Foundation as her charity, supporting small, local charities tackling critical societal inequalities.
Katung’s achievement is not only a milestone for the African Community, its also an inspiration to people from diverse backgrounds. Her story serves as a reminder that with determination and hard work, anyone can overcome obstacles and achieve greatness.
