About ICAN DFW

Igbo Community Association of Nigeria, DFW (ICAN) is an association which brings together persons and groups of persons who are Igbo by birth, marriage, naturalization or adoption, within a Metroplex or geographical area.  Our purpose is to promote and maintain Igbo heritage while enhancing a smooth cultural infusion in recognition of other cultures. Membership is open to all Igbo organizations in the geographical area as defined in our constitution.

Our Mission:
  • To uphold truth and integrity
  • To foster brotherhood and friendship among all Igbos in particular and all other people in general.
  • To build strong family ties and to encourage a high level of moral conduct and other traditional yardsticks of Igbos family values.
  • To patronize and encourage one another in all honest endeavors and thus buttress the development of a strong Igbo economic unit.
  • To promote and maintain Igbo heritage while enhancing a smooth cultural infusion in recognition of other cultures.
  • To promote peace and understanding among all Igbo people, in the Metroplex and community at large.
  • To provide a forum to discuss and monitor the larger issue of the political well being of Igbos as a group on a non-partisan.
  • To unify Igbos in the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex.
  • To receive, invest, hold property and disburse funds for the purpose of carrying out the objectives of ICAN without violating the nonprofit status.
  • To conduct other activities not inconsistent with the by-laws.
