Umu Igbo Unite is a US based organization that consists of a wide range of young professionals and college students of Igbo heritage residing in the US. Our membership targets people from all parts of the South-Eastern Igbo speaking states of Nigeria including: Abia, Anambra, Delta, Ebonyi, Enugu, Imo, Bayelsa, Akwa-Ibom, Cross-River and Rivers states.
Umu Igbo Unite is an association of young Igbos whose primary purpose is to:
- Promote personal, cultural and professional growth by:
- Networking, not only professionally, but culturally and socially as well.
- Initiating, encouraging and supporting innovative Igbo business ideas and existing businesses that have the potential to improve the quality of life in Nigeria.
- Contributing positively towards improvement of the quality of education in our Nigerian schools, through donation of time and resources.
- Promote unity, co-operation and general empowerment amongst Igbo youth to enhance our voice in national policy. (A house divided, cannot stand...)
- Providing a forum where young Igbos can share their experiences in the hopes of contributing positively to the growth and progress of Igbos worldwide. .
Since 2005, Umu Igbo Unite has held an annual convention each year which consists of many events aimed at Young Igbo professionals. People from other cultural backgrounds and ethnicities that are interested in learning more about the Igbo culture are welcome to attend. Click here to view pictures from each year. |
