NIDOA Ohio

Established in 2000, Nigerians in Diaspora Organization (NIDO) in the Americas is a non-profit organization headquartered in Washington, D.C. that draws resources from the synergy of all Nigerian Professionals in the Diaspora, to instill ethical consciousness and civic responsibility that will enhance the socio-economic advancement of Nigerians and humanity in general.

NIDOA is recognized by the Nigerian government as the umbrella organization for all Nigerians in the Americas and Caribbean, including their community-based organizations. In 2005, NIDO established an official charitable arm for the organization. NIDOA Ohio is registered as a 501(c)3 organization, and is currently focusing on professional networking, social advocacy, women’s development, education, healthcare, technological and economic empowerment, as well as skills and cultural exchange projects.

Since 2024, Odibo’s Grant Writing focus group has worked with NIDOA Ohio — helping the organization win a grant from the Hepatitis B Foundation, part of the $5,000+ the focus group has helped raise in grants for Odibo’s Service Learning Partners — and creating the videos that came out of that work, including content for NIDOA Ohio’s own YouTube channel.
