About Akwa Ibom State Association of Nigeria, USA Inc. Oklahoma

For over three decades, the Akwa Ibom State Association of Nigeria (USA), Inc. has served as a vital bridge connecting Akwa Ibom citizens and families across America to their heritage, culture, and each other. Operating from Oklahoma City, OK, this community-centered 501(c)(3) organization was founded on the principle of unity and mutual support among people sharing common roots in Akwa Ibom State. AKISAN USA believes in the power of community connection and has built a membership-based family spanning multiple states, each with dedicated local chapters led by passionate volunteers. The organization's heart lies in supporting its members' legitimate aspirations—whether educational, professional, or entrepreneurial—while maintaining strong ties to the homeland and promoting Nigeria's broader interests. Beyond individual advancement, AKISAN USA actively contributes to charitable causes and community development, partnering with organizations that share their commitment to social progress. The Oklahoma Chapter exemplifies this mission by bringing together residents of Oklahoma City and surrounding areas who value cultural preservation, educational opportunity, and economic cooperation. Through signature programs like the Mr. and Miss Akwa Ibom USA pageant, women's empowerment initiatives, and youth development activities, the Association creates meaningful spaces for celebration, learning, and growth. Members benefit from a supportive network that understands their unique experiences as Nigerians in America while fostering pride in Akwa Ibom heritage. AKISAN USA's commitment to apolitical, inclusive community building has made it a trusted organization for families seeking connection, support, and belonging within the broader Nigerian-American community.
