Project NWAFOR Igbo is focused on bringing in companies that will create massive jobs for our youth, we will parade a team of high-profile managerial skills backed by credible, young, seasoned, vibrant and dedicated professionals with a reputation for excellence, who have acquired quality professional training and first-class industry experiences.
Due to many years of actions and inactions from wrong leadership, there has been a lot of mismanagement and lack of development. Recently and for the first time in many years insecurity has spread across the land making it more difficult for development to thrive. This is why Project NWAFOR Igbo has come as a catalyst of growth, development and economic empowerment. This can be achieved through our blueprint called the SYITE Agenda (SECURITY, YOUTH, INFRASTRUCTURE, TECHNOLOGY, ENVIRONMENT).
NWAFOR is born out of the need to strategically harness the sectional strength of the Igbo population in the Southeastern part of Nigeria states namely Abia, Anambra, Ebonyi, Enugu, and Imo. They are known for their spirit of enterprise, hardworking, peaceful and controlling the nation’s trade and commerce.
