The Alvan Ikoku Group Holdings was established in 2020 by Alvan Azinna Chibuzo Ikoku — as the primary division of The Ikoku Group able to assume and focus on design, development, implementation, testing and revision of safeguarding and secure management practices and their applications. It is primarily through The Ikoku Holdings that the Founder and The Ikoku Group may approve and conduct the conservative administration and safekeeping of books, documents, intellectual and real property and equivalently significant assets.

The Alvan Ikoku Group Holdings is formally organized as a protected series of The Alvan Ikoku Group LLC — itself a series limited liability company — as provided for in the Delaware State Code of the United States. They are registered and headquartered in Wilmington, Delaware. The Alvan Ikoku Group Holdings is also officially known under the business names, The Alvan Azinna Chibuzo Ikoku Holdings and The Ikoku Holdings. All three names, as used in official Ikoku Group and Ikoku Holdings documents, products, programs, services and sites, refer to the same aforementioned divisional entity.

The Ikoku Holdings have taken up the conceptualization, innovation and application of safekeeping and secure management practices in five (5) areas of focus. Each of these are further described in the sections listed below:

1. Books | Investments;
2. Documents | Agreements;
3. Real | Intellectual Property;
4. Design | Development; and
5. Solutions | Technologies.

The Ikoku Holdings is thus structured to assist The Ikoku Group in fulfilling their shared, originating mission to foster care and creativity, ethics and innovation in work and communities of enduring concern to the Founder and Partners. As always, the objective is the improvement of lives and the betterment of societies.

The Ikoku Holdings is led and managed by the sole Founder and Owner of The Ikoku Group, Alvan Azinna Chibuzo Ikoku, who serves as President, Chair and CEO. The following are further details concerning governance of the Division.

Alvan Azinna Chibuzo Ikoku is the sole interests-holder, shareholder and director of The Ikoku Holdings, and as such is the only person empowered to authorize The Ikoku Holdings to engage in or enter into a specified activity or arrangement.

Such authorization by the above Founder may proceed only via express written instrument signed and sealed. No other activity in The Ikoku Holdings, or the Sites, Products, Programs and Services may take the place of such authorization, nor may any other such activity be taken as indication of donor preference, authorized transfer of charitable funds, or permission for any specific nonprofit activity on the part of The Ikoku Group, its President, Alvan Azinna Chibuzo Ikoku, or The Ikoku Charitable Trusts or The Ikoku Foundations.

Any further announcements and details of the leadership and management of The Ikoku Holdings shall be provided here upon completion of searches and appointments by the Founder.

Any further announcements and details of partners within and partnerships with The Ikoku Holdings shall be provided here upon completion of agreements and appointments by the Founder.

The development of The Ikoku Holdings is governed by its sole Founder and Owner, Alvan Azinna Chibuzo Ikoku, as well as a set of attendant mission-related core purposes derived from a history of division establishment further described below:

During a period preceding and extending into the formation of The Alvan Ikoku Holdings and its parent company, The Alvan Ikoku Group LLC, the Founder, Alvan Azinna Chibuzo Ikoku, was subject to a set of consistent, extensive, pervasive, dehumanizing and subhumanizing practices — including but not limited to discrimination, harassment, stalking, and unconsented communication, experimentation, monitoring, and spying — that entailed profound violations of the Founder’s basic, fundamental and natural freedoms, liberties and rights, confidentiality and privacy rights, and fundamental autonomy, dignity and humanity accorded and provided to citizens and residents of California, Delaware, the United States, and member states of the United Nations.*

In response to the above, the Founder, Alvan Azinna Chibuzo Ikoku, established and shall further develop The Ikoku Holdings with the core, express and founding purpose to create, develop, and support communities, institutions, and societies where the above and related practices do not occur and to help other communities, institutions, and societies reduce the occurrence and prevalence of the above and related practices.

Such core, express and founding purpose shall also be in response to apparent, historical and sustained failures and limitations of established, present-day and prevailing civics, commerce, education, institutions, politics, public discourse and religion to provide a meaningful moral and ethical basis for ensuring the care, equanimity, recognition, respect, sanctity, sovereignty and spiritual or theological wholeness of human beings in contemporary society. Thus, The Ikoku Holdings, operating as a for-profit entity, shall do so via the following faith-based commitments and principles:

As part of the core, express and founding purposes described above, the Founder, Alvan Azinna Chibuzo Ikoku, shall also further develop The Ikoku Holdings in view of the Founder’s birth into, formation within and further development of a multigenerational, longstanding family commitment to lifelong education and research; as well as in direct response to past, present-day and ongoing infringements of basic, fundamental and natural freedoms, liberties and rights, including the disenfranchisement, forced migration, impoverishment, marginalization, stigmatization, underrepresentation, unethical care and research, and violations of due process, liberty and privacy rights, of varying peoples in Africa, its global diasporas, and culturally and structurally connected societies. The Ikoku Holdings shall thus have an attendant founding purpose to promote public awareness of, enhance public knowledge of and engage in commerce in and pertaining to Africa, its global diasporas, and its connected or shared societies, as well as foster global interrelationships between Africa and the Americas, Asia, Australasia and Oceania, and Europe.

Notwithstanding any provisions of the Codes and Policies of The Ikoku Holdings or any other applicable documents, guidelines, laws, policies, or equivalent legal instruments, no objectives of The Ikoku Holdings shall supersede or be of greater benefit, import, or priority than the core, express and founding mission and purposes of The Ikoku Holdings as defined, described and delineated above. No activities, operations, or other processes of The Ikoku Holdings shall entail any of the aforementioned dehumanizing or subhumanizing practices. Any version of such practices — as well as any accruing of advantage, benefit, or information through such practices, and also any natural or legal persons assisting, employing, permitting, planning, or otherwise conducting or promoting such practices — are by definition incompatible with The Ikoku Holdings as well as its founding, development, administration, management, and operation. And upon the discovery by any person of such practices or its equivalent, immediate reporting and subsequent remedying shall be conducted to and via Alvan Azinna Chibuzo Ikoku, the sole Founder and Owner of The Ikoku Holdings, who shall be the sole person to interpret this and other codes and policies of The Ikoku Holdings and adjudicate the aforementioned and attendant matters.

For these reasons, no person or entity may become or remain qualified as board or committee member, director, trustee, officer, executive, manager or other leadership, staff or employee, advisor or consultant, provider of care, of education, of mentorship, or of training, affiliate, partner, representative, recipient of funds or resources, researcher or observer, sponsor, supervisor, volunteer, parental entity, voting or decision-making entity, member or stakeholder, or other agent of The Ikoku Holdings (including its divisions, series, subsidiaries, affiliates, and partners) if conducting or promoting any of the aforementioned dehumanizing or subhumanizing practices and their attendant actions, activities, or behaviors, or their equivalent, as well as if in intentional violation of the core, express and founding purposes described above, the Founding and Governing Code of Ethics, or any of the ensuing codes, ethics, policies, protections, and rights provided for by The Ikoku Holdings concerning confidentiality, consent, privacy, respect, and unconsented care, education, experimentation, monitoring, research, tracking, training, supervision, or surveillance.
