ABOUT NAOIS

The National Association of Okpuitumo Ikwo Students (NAOIS) was born out of a shared vision to unite and empower students from Okpuitumo Ikwo, a community in Ebonyi State, Nigeria.

In 2020, a group of visionary students, led by Comrade Alefia Friday James, Comrade Ekechi Nnamdi, Comrade Nwafor Samuel, Comrade Igboji Calista, Comrade Nweke Richard among other students from Okpuitumo Ikwo community recognized the need for a collective voice and platform to address the unique challenges and aspirations of Okpuitumo Ikwo students.
