The Nigerian Community (WF) is a child of necessity created out of a seemingly simple ideology - To address the growing level of disillusionment among individual Nigerian residents in the Borough which has, infested in to a general lack of cohesiveness and leadership within the community. The end result being, the increasing rate of apathy and antisocial behaviour that has become pervasive among children and young people in the aforementioned borough.

Research revealed that Nigerians were first noted to have come to live in this part of the capital since the year 1891. Until the formation of NICOWF in March 2000 and subsequent registration with the Charity Commission in 2002, there have never been a body or organisation that was directly involved in dealing with their needs and aspirations at both local and national level respectively in the political arena. The pioneering fathers of Nigerian Community(WF) in their wisdom, deliberated to rectify this awful situation. Their vision is that Nigerians in the borough will have access to a One Stop source of Information, Advice, Guidance and support on issues that affect them personally and as a community.

The Nigerian Community (WF) is a body with an aim to alleviate sufferings of isolated and dejected poor members of the community. These people, Nigerians among them, include the elderly whose needs are conspicuously overlooked. They (for one reason or another) are not willing to seek help even when they are ill. Other groups including children who are finding transition to adulthood difficult and therefore need help closer to home or training for example in cultural education. To fulfil these roles, there is a need for an easy accessible drop in place for information and advice to these excluded individuals in our midst. It is our ambition to bring these goals to fruition in the shortest possible time. We hope you join us in our endeavours.
