Ikare Progressive Association USA (the Association) was formed in 1988. The Association was formally registered with the State Department of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania as a not-for-profit entity on August 24, 2009. Adebayo Ibrahim (Shine-Shine) was the first president of the Association. The first set of officers included Sam Ogunye as the vice president, Salis Fele as Secretary, Chris Ogunleye as Treasurer, Bashir Ogungbemi as Financial Secretary and Phil Pelemo as PRO.
Sam Ogunye served as president from 1994 to 2000 with John Ogungbemi as the vice president. John Ogungbemi served as president from 2000 to 2006 with Labanji Ajagunna as the vice president. Salis Fele served as president from 2006 to 2010 with Olawale Ogunleye as the vice president. In 2010 a Caretaker Committee headed by Bashir Ogungbemi ran the affairs of the Association until the current officers were elected in April 2014. The current officers are Oludare Akintola, president; Kayode Babalola, Vice President; Adelaja Aturu, Secretary; Sarah Awe-Ibrahim, Treasurer; Bamidele Aladetohun, Financial Secretary and Lateef Aderomilehin, Chief Whip.
The Association is organized on chapter basis with a chapter covering a geographical zone. Each Chapter is led by a Chapter Coordinator. Kayode Babalola is the Coordinator for the Maryland/DC Chapter; Bola Toba, Coordinator for New Jersey/New York; Bamidele Aladetohun, Coordinator for Pennsylvania and Larry Ogunjobi, Coordinator for the South.
The Association has provided bed spreads to the General Hospital at Ikare and sunk a borehole there. We recently completed a block of four modern bathrooms at one of the town's local elementary school. The Association is being re-positioned to engage in charitable works that will assist the Ikare community in the areas of education, health and quality of life improvement.
