The National Cohesion & Identity Program (NCIP) is a civic initiative dedicated to promoting unity among Nigerians and strengthening the idea of a shared national identity.
Nigeria is home to diverse cultures, languages, and traditions. While this diversity enriches the country, national progress depends on the ability of citizens to see themselves as part of a shared national community.
The NCIP seeks to encourage Nigerians to recognise their common identity as citizens of Nigeria and to embrace a collective responsibility for the nation's success and development.
The NCIP was established to address the need for a stronger sense of national cohesion across the country.
The initiative promotes the idea that national progress requires citizens who place the interests of the nation above narrow personal or sectional interests.
By encouraging intellectual dialogue, civic participation, and public engagement, the program aims to cultivate values that strengthen national unity and encourage responsible citizenship.
