The Nigerian Foundation is the umbrella organization of Nigerians in the greater Houston area. It was formed as a nonprofit, advocacy group in 1982 – working for and representing the people of Nigeria in the greater Houston area of Texas. Our mission is to empower Nigerians, give Nigerians a voice, and strengthen Nigerian community in the greater Houston area through collective action. Our vision is to unify and support one another through pragmatic education, economic networking, business collaboration, and our diverse rich culture. Though tribe and tongue may differ, in brotherhood and sisterhood, we must stand.

Your visit demonstrates that you care about the status of Nigerians in the United States and the world, writ large. We should care, at least for these two reasons.
