The establishment of Anioma Association in the United States is an offshoot of the "Anioma Movement," which was an effort to create a separate province for Anioma people in Nigeria. The Anioma Association, USA, Inc. Washington DC Area Chapter was the first chapter established in the US on May 24, 1989. It provides a forum for Anioma people resident in the Washington DC Area to meet on a monthly basis to congregate and socialize.
The goal of the association is to create a forum and a channel through which Anioma people in the United States can speak with one voice on issues affecting them here and at home. It affords them the opportunity to put their resources together to help Anioma people at home and abroad.
