THE Organization for the Advancement of Nigerians (OAN) and NIDC have announced their readiness for the 2024 edition of the yearly parade. This was contained in a statement made available to the media in Nigeria over the weekend.

OAN was founded in 1989 by a group of concerned Nigerians living in the United States of America, to address the needs of the Nigerian community. The organization prides itself as the foremost Nigerian platform with the largest audience at a single parade across the USA.

The President of the organization, Olutomi Aregbesola, said in the statement, “OAN has been relatively successful since inception. Every year, we ensure that the Nigerian Independence Parade remains as colorful as possible. As a matter of fact, we have the database of attendees pre-pandemic numbering over 100,000 people”. She stressed that “the parade is usually a spectacle. The activities lined up every year are always so interesting and this accounts for why even foreign nationals want to attend to catch a glimpse of what makes Nigeria special”.
