Our Identity
Who we are

We believe that a more peaceful and progressive world can be achieved through active Citizenship; individuals assuring responsibility to solve problems in our immediate communities.
Our History
JCI Ibadan Elite had its first business meeting in February 2018 at Carlton Gate Hotel, Idi-Ape. The organization was created due to the efforts of extension by JCI Ibadan. JCI Ibadan Elite, an affiliate of Junior Chamber International, Nigeria has about 50 members comprising young professionals and entrepreneurs that are committed to creating an impact in our communities.
We earned provisional affiliation with JCI Nigeria at the JCI Nigeria Northern Conference hosted by JCI Arewa in Kaduna State in 2018 and earned full affiliation in October 2019 at the JCI Nigeria National convention in Lagos hosted by JCI Lagos Metropolitan.
