The National Cohesion & Identity Program (NCIP) is dedicated to strengthening unity among Nigerians and cultivating a shared national identity that places Nigeria first.
The National Cohesion & Identity Program (NCIP) is a civic initiative established to promote unity among Nigerians across the country's rich cultural, ethnic, and regional diversity.
The program seeks to strengthen a shared national identity by encouraging Nigerians to recognise themselves first and foremost as citizens of Nigeria, united by a common responsibility to the success and progress of the nation.
At its core, the initiative promotes a culture in which Nigerians see one another as compatriots regardless of differences. Through dialogue and civic participation, the program cultivates loyalty and responsibility to the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
