About Association of Nigerians in New Orleans

The Association of Nigerians in New Orleans, simply known as ANNO is a 501 (c)(3) federal tax-exempt status formed and registered as a nonprofit organization with the Louisiana secretary of state by members of the Nigerian immigrant community in New Orleans in the early 80s. At its inception, many of the founders were students, bachelors, and married couples who saw the ned to come together as one Nigerian who found themselves in the United state. They envisioned coming together would enable them to preserve the diverse cultural heritage, protect their offspring from exclusion, and promote love, peace, and unity among all Nigerians resident in New Orleansts. Also, they saw the need to comradery among themselves while preventing backlash and marginization in their new adopted home.
