ANAC Sponsors the "Good Governance Now Movement" and Taps on the Nigerian Intenrational Leadership Council NILC.


ANAC is sponsoring the Nigerian International Leadership Council Meeting to call all Nigerians in the International Community of the ANAC proposed Good Governance Now Movement intiative. The objective is to establish the participation of Nigerians Abroad as Stakeholders and National Conscience Partners in the Nigerian Election 2011.

Speaking for ANAC, Chairman Martin Okafor of Atlanta, Georgia, USA led the governing Board of ANAC as the organization passed the resolution calling for the NILC meeting and support of the ANAC initiative.
Nigerians Abroad intends to organize many Symposium, Conferences here in the USA, Europe, Abuja, and many other cities in Nigeria in the next few months. We also intend to organize volunteers from among our large numbers in the International Communities to serve as watchers, and organizers in the election 2011. We are tired of having our elections be a sham and a laughing stock of the world. We need to rise and take a stand for good governance in Nigeria today.

Please send your names, contact informations to us at memberservices@anacweb.org if you are interested in registering as a co-worker and partner in this project.
Or Visit www.anacweb.org, register as ANAC member specifically for the Good Governance Now Movement.

Please relay your comments. Our first teleconference is scheduled for Thursday, July 22nd, 2010. We would forward more communication shortly to responding registrants. Please forward your comments, and indicate your organization, leadership role in the organization, so we can contact you adequately for participation.

Please forward this note to all Nigerians every where. It takes one father and one mother to born a child, but it takes the entire community to raise every child. Nigeria needs our community to help her Good Governance Now.

ANAC Pledges Support for the Nice Lace Project and Extends an Olive Branch to all Former Members of ANAC

Largo, MD - May 27, 2010 - The ANAC Board of Trustees in its May 2010
meeting voted to support the "Nigerian Diaspora" initiative titled the "Nice Lace Project".

The Nice Lace Project is the acronym for "Nigeria Invasion of Literal Art Culture and Entertainment", as originally envisioned with the support of other Nigerian International Community organizations. ANAC Board of
Trustees, at its May 2010 meeting, voted to support the goals of the Nice Lace Project. ANAC Chairman of the Board of Directors and Trustees, Prof. Martin Okafor appointed the national ANAC Committee Chair for the Literal Arts and Culture Committee, Mrs. Omolara Okunubi - Trustee ANAC California Chapter, as the ANAC representative to the Nice Lace Project. Chairman Okafor also assigned the national ANAC Vice Chairman, Mr. David Ogunnaike, as the official representative at the Lagos debut of the Nice Lace Project
on June, 18th, 2010, in Victoria Island, Lagos. The ANAC Board of Trustees, with the resolution at this meeting, reaffirmed their interest in overall investment development and the opportunities that will be created for the
development of Nigeria by Nigerians Abroad. With this first step as entertainment, the Board will focus on other investments to support the Nigerian Economy in the Energy sector, Municipality infrastructural development, Education, Health Care, and much more.

Also during the same meeting, the ANAC Board of Trustees voted to extend the terms of all Trustees whose terms will be expiring by the end of May 2010, as well as the term of the current elected officers, until the end of August
2010. Chairman Okafor announced that in line with the spirit of reconciliation, all former members and Trustees of the ANAC who were either voted out, forced out, or left on their own accord are all welcome back into the organization's fold, and we look forward to seeing all of them at our
next congressional session rescheduled to August 2010 in California. The ANAC Chairman assured that all returning eligible members should have the opportunity to seek any elective positions as Delegates, Trustees, and
organizational Executive Officers.
