About

IJAW PROJECT— or simply IP—is a digital, innovations, and technology-based collaborative research created to chronicle, document, and archive the social history and cultural heritage of the Ijaw people. With a focus on designing and executing solutions-based programmatic and initiatives, Ijaw Project center on advancing socio-justice initiatives through intersectional examinations of the intellectual and psychosocial interactions of Ijaw peoples both within their immediate Niger Delta environment and globally.

The project seeks, invites, and networks with individuals, organizations, and groups across the world. Framed primarily around autochthonous Ijaw epistemologies, the project aims to build intellectual bridges to facilitate, and indeed to aid, public and global fathoming of the various seeming complexities in thought-ways and manners of meaning productions among the Ijaw people. The project assumes from the aboriginal homes of the Ijaw people. It also extends to any sites that would qualify as Ijaw Diaspora.
