NIGERIAN CENTER

Written By Rhonna-Rose Akama-Makia

The Nigerian Center's mission is to offer financial inclusion and social justice opportunities for members of the African immigrant community. We educate, empower, uplift, and assist all immigrant families in acclimating to life in the United States through policy advocacy, cultural, legal aid services, entrepreneurship, and homeownership opportunities.

Located in the nation’s capital, the center aims to complement and amplify the efforts of community-based nonprofits serving the African immigrant community in the United States. The Nigerian Center also provides a platform for members of the African diaspora to learn about their Nigerian heritage while connecting them to the current Nigerian American culture in the United States. The center curates cultural programs for first-generation Nigerian Americans and will support newly arrived immigrants with culturally sensitive transition and self-sufficiency opportunities
