About
Inner Circle of Friends
The Inner Circle (IC) of Friends, University of Ibadan is a non-political, non-tribal, non- religious social-philanthropic organization founded in 1958. It is a group of brotherly friends whose thoughts and attitudes radiate out for the betterment of the people around. One’s brotherly love for each other and mankind in general, may often times not be expressed materially, but the instant concern of other people’s problems even when much cannot be done, is something noteworthy of all ICs.
It all started informally in 1957 at the then University College Ibadan (now University of Ibadan) with a group of friends coming together to relax, have fun and sometimes discuss important matters of the happens in the rooms in Kuti Hall (of residence). This group of friends namely: David U. U Okali, Festus Nwoke (late), Sam Okonkwo (late), Joshua Ogbonnaya, Godswill Okezie, Frank Ukoli (late) were all in the faculty of science.
Vision
To cultivate a dynamic and inclusive circle of honourable men committed to lifelong fellowship, personal growth and uplifting our communities through shared values and celebration—building a strong network of friendship and support that transcends time and strengthen families
