Our story
From one weekly halaqa to a state-wide movement
The Muslim Corpers' Association of Nigeria was founded to give Muslim youth serving the nation a spiritual home away from home. In Rivers State, that mission grew from a handful of corps members meeting for Jumu'ah into a self-governed chapter coordinating da'wah, welfare, and mentorship across every local government area.
