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;

  1. 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.
    • Embracing, sharing and teaching our rich cultural heritage and language through social events and seminars.
  2. Promote unity, co-operation and general empowerment amongst Igbo youth to enhance our voice in national policy. (A house divided, cannot stand…)
  3. Providing a forum where young Igbos can share their experiences in the hopes of contributing positively to the growth and progress of Igbos worldwide.
