Why Should I Become a Member of NIDO?
Become part of a committed community of Nigerian professionals in the Americas.
Vision, Mission, and Strategy
NIDO's mission is to develop a chapter-centered organization in Georgia and beyond, dedicated to building communities of engaged Nigerians committed to good stewardship, increased civic participation, camaraderie, and professional development. We work on projects that benefit our diaspora community.
Advocacy
Governments in Nigeria and the USA generate countless regulations and legislation that complicate our lives in the diaspora. NIDO is your voice in the Atlanta region and various jurisdictions in Nigeria. We meet with legislators and decision-makers to advocate on vital issues that affect Nigerians, Nigerian businesses, and other organizations. We are here to serve you and your interests!
Strength in Numbers on Diaspora Issues
NIDO Atlanta has positioned itself as a powerful voice in the immigration community to improve quality of life for Nigerians and access for Nigerian businesses. We fight the battles for you on issues such as equality, professionalism, grants, funding, business opportunities and more. Our goal is to build a strong network of Nigerian professionals in the Americas. Come and join us!
Educational and Informative Meetings
We host a variety of meetings and group activities such as children's back-to-school picnics, business forums, seminars/workshops, and social mixers. These activities provide exceptional learning and networking opportunities for you, your business, and our membership.
Membership Undefined by Ethnicity
We believe every Nigerian has something unique to contribute. We value all members and treat individuals with respect, dignity, and professionalism.
Special Invitations to Government, Corporate & Community Events
We offer special opportunities for you to serve on panels and task forces, and to receive special invitations to select events not generally open to the public. Atlanta is becoming the event and networking capital of the world — let's get you connected today!
