About New Jersey Chapter

The New Jersey Chapter of ACIU North America stands as one of our most established and vibrant chapters, serving the Abiriba community in the Garden State since 2016. With 91 active members, we represent one of the largest concentrations of Abiriba people in the northeastern United States.

Our chapter is deeply committed to preserving our cultural heritage while fostering professional growth and community development. We organize regular cultural events, educational workshops, professional networking sessions, and community service projects that strengthen our bonds and contribute to both our local New Jersey communities and our homeland in Abiriba.

Located in the heart of Newark, our chapter serves members throughout New Jersey, including those in Jersey City, Elizabeth, Paterson, and surrounding areas. We welcome all Abiriba people and their families to join our growing community.
