Who We Are

Igbere Progressive Association International, Inc., was
formed as a non-profit organization (see About IPAI below),
with the belief that it would offer among other things the
following:

  • The opportunity for Igbere citizens in several parts of
    the world to come together in unity and oneness, to
    deliberate on the affairs, state, welfare and
    advancement of Igbere Ebiri community and its
    people.
  • The medium to begin to re-acquaint with one
    another, get to know one another and carve out
    ideas to better serve the needs of each other and
    our entire community.
  •  The forum that lead us towards the part of dialoging
    with one another to find out how we in Diaspora
    could better become major voices and players in the
    determination of issues, policies, politics, traditional
    and communal affairs of our village – Igbere,
    through our elected representatives.
