of the Izon tribe, spread across six States of the Federation of Nigeria namely: Ondo, Edo, Delta, Bayelsa, Rivers and Akwa Ibom
(there are 44 clans of the Ijaw tribe in Nigeria).
The Founder of the association is Mrs. Jane Alek, who was then a Senior Police Officer; she later retired as a Deputy Commissioner of Police. It was she who sought out a few educated and enlightened Izon ladies of like minds to start the Association. The inaugural meeting of the Association was held on Sunday, the 9th of October, 1977.
