From the President’s Desk - Dr. Yinka Tella
Happy New Year! With more than 177 million, Nigeria is Africa’s most
populous country. It is inhabited by more than 250 ethnic groups, including
the Hausa and Fulani (29%), Yoruba
(21%), Igbo (18%), Ijaw (10%), Kanuri
(4%), Ibibio (3.5%), the Tiv (2.5%) and
the Edo. English is the official
language although Nigeria boasts of
more than 500 indigenous languages,
including Hausa, Yoruba and Igbo.
Nigeria, the world’s 12th largest
producer of oil in the world, is the 8th
largest exporter of the product for which it has the 10th largest proven
reserves. While you will learn about various components of our agenda in
this newsletter and other media, we invite you recruit others to be part of
the change we seek: A strong and
respected Nigerian voice in the tri-county
area of South Florida, a thriving, unified
and progressive community that is
culturally aware, professionally and
economically equipped, and politically
potent.
Welcome!
