About Igbo Union
Igbo people have built a remarkable number of associations, organizations, and communities in cities around the world. Igbo Union exists to connect them, so that Igbo people can find one another, support one another, and be heard together.
A shared home for every Igbo son and daughter, built through connection, culture, and collective action.
Rather than adding one more association, Igbo Union is an umbrella that brings existing associations and individuals together, helps them connect, and gives the wider community a stronger collective voice.
Igbo Union grew from a simple but powerful idea: Ndi Igbo are stronger when we are connected. Read how we began, what we stand for, and where we’re headed.
We connect Igbo associations, organizations, and individuals and help them work together. We’re building a network and directory so Igbo people can find community wherever they are, and a way for the community to propose and shape the initiatives we pursue.
A Board of Trustees oversees our governance, and an Executive Leadership team guides our strategy and day-to-day work. Meet the people behind Igbo Union.
Executive team & Board of Trustees
Igbo Union connects Ndi Igbo, families, town associations, and friends through cultural programmes, community events, and shared work to preserve our heritage for future generations.
Our work begins with a simple belief: culture stays alive when people practice it together. That means making room for elders to pass on wisdom, young people to lead, families to belong, and every community to contribute.
"Igbo bu nke anyi." Our culture, our responsibility, our future.Explore the Union
