National Committee Against Apartheid

The National Committee Against Apartheid (NACAP) was founded by the Nigerian government sometimes in the 1960s with branches all over Nigeria. Its principal aim, among others, was to disseminate the evils of the apartheid regime to all Nigerians beginning from primary schools, market women etc. Through NACAP, hundreds of South Africans resident in Nigeria went to school free of charge and workers contributed financially to the liberation of South Africa. NACAP was also responsible for advising the government on major policy decisions concerning the then apartheid regime. NACAP had alliances with the labor movement, student groups, progressive elements within the country and other grassroots organizations. (Source: Akpan H. Ekpo, a former member of NACAP)
