Understanding our purpose, our people and our commitment to Kaduna's development.
ONEKD — One Kaduna Initiative — is a non-partisan, non-profit development platform focused on strengthening Kaduna through human capital development, entrepreneurship, leadership, knowledge and community engagement.
We believe that Kaduna's greatest resource is its people. Across generations, communities and professions, Kaduna has produced individuals who have contributed significantly to Nigeria's development.
ONEKD seeks to connect these experiences, recognise contributions, create opportunities and inspire a new generation of citizens committed to building Kaduna.
"Kaduna's future will be shaped by the
people who choose to build it together."
