About
IJEBU ASSOCIATION OF USA WASHINGTON METROPOLITAN CHAPTER
The Ijebu Association of the United States of America was established by a group of Nigerian students in the 1970s and was appropriately named The Ijebu Students Association. Ijebu Association of USA Inc. is a recognized non-profit organization under Section 501 (c) (3) of the United States Internal Revenue Code.
The original intent of the organization, back then, was to provide a forum for moral, intellectual and psychological support for its members, and to ensure their well-being and academic success during their temporary sojourn in the United States. Our priorities have evolved over the years. Now, we embark on projects aimed at improving the quality of life for our communities in Ijebu-land in Nigeria, seek the general welfare of our members, uphold, cherish and nurture our cultural heritage, create cordial relationships among all people of Ijebu descent as well as other Nigerian ethnic groups, and develop good citizenry in the communities of our domicile.
