The Association of Nigerians in Victoria (ANIV) was born from a simple yet powerful idea: Nigerians in Victoria are stronger together. Established as a formal entity under the leadership of its founding members, ANIV emerged to address the needs of a growing diaspora seeking connection, support, and a voice in their adopted home.
From humble beginnings—gathering in living rooms and community halls—ANIV has grown into a dynamic force, officially incorporated with a clear mission to unite Nigerians and contribute to the Victorian community. Our bylaws, crafted with care, reflect our commitment to unity, progress, and accountability. Over the years, we’ve celebrated milestones like our first Annual General Meeting, the launch of our social platforms, and countless initiatives that have uplifted members and neighbors alike.
Today, ANIV stands as a testament to resilience, collaboration, and the enduring spirit of the Nigerian people—a legacy we continue to build with every step forward.
