Igbo Pelican is a youth movement with the Igbo Youth as target audience. The paramount goal of this group is to inform the youth basically and the general public on the need to play an active role in revitalization and maintenance of the Igbo Language. There is also a touch of motivational speech which will be published occasionally. Our mission is to see that the Igbo Language even with this little but impactful means grows relentlessly everyday following the footsteps of our pioneer Igbo scholars who have created which we wish and seek to make an established path for posterity.
