Celebrating a Decade of Difference

CELEBRATING A DECADE OF DIFFERENCE

While 2020 marked a decade of PIND's work, the advent of the COVID-19 pandemic caused a postponement of commemorative activities until 2021. In those ten years, we are proud to have empowered Nigeria's Niger Deltans to create economic prosperity and peace for themselves and live up to their full potential.

After ten years of making a difference in the Niger Delta region, we took some me to reflect on our history, take stock of our enduring achievements, and look at how to make the next ten years even more impactful. We did this through fun and educational activities from October to December 2021. Let's take a photo journey through the highlights of the PIND 10th-Anniversary Celebration!
