Welcome Address
The President Welcome Address
Dear Friend,
It is with great joy and deep gratitude that I welcome you to the Nigeria-Canada Association of British Columbia (NCABC). My name is Sunny Chukwuemeka Chigbu, and I am honored to serve as the 18th President of this great association.
At NCABC, our vision is simple yet powerful: to build a truly unified community where everyone feels at home. A family where you belong not because of your religion, ethnicity, tribe, political views, or sexual orientation, but because you are part of something bigger — a community bound by love, respect, and shared humanity.
From our humble beginnings, Nigerians in British Columbia have worked hard to preserve our culture while embracing the opportunities of our new home in Canada. Along the way, we have celebrated our rich traditions, supported one another in times of need, and built bridges of friendship with the wider Canadian society. Our story is one of resilience, triumph, and togetherness.
But more than history, our association is about people — people like you. Whether you are a newcomer seeking guidance, a professional looking to network, a student chasing your dreams, or simply someone eager to experience the warmth of Nigerian culture, there is a place for you here.
We are more than just an association; we are a family. A family that celebrates diversity, uplifts one another, and stands strong through challenges. When you join NCABC, you are not just becoming a member — you are becoming part of a story of unity, belonging, and progress.
As your President, I am committed to ensuring that NCABC continues to be a home where every voice matters and every member is valued. Together with our dedicated executive team, we are building platforms for cultural exchange, professional growth, community service, and mutual support.
So, whether you are Nigerian by birth, heritage, or simply by heart, I warmly invite you to join us. Come share in our culture, contribute your gifts, and find your place in a community that truly cares.
On behalf of the entire NCABC family, I welcome you with open arms. May you always feel at home with us.
With love and respect,
Sunny Chukwuemeka Chigbu
18th President
Nigeria-Canada Association of British Columbia
