Publiks Inc was established in 2017 by the Founder, Alvan Azinna Chibuzo Ikoku, to enhance awareness and knowledge about and foster global interrelationships among people, communities and societies in Africa, the Americas, Asia, Australasia and Europe. The emphasis at Publiks Inc is on improvements in public awareness, public information, public knowledge and the public interest; discovery, examination and fostering of communities; collaboration, cooperation and participation within them; and engagement with and within publics that are local, national, regional and global in nature and scope.

Publiks Inc is formally organized as a single-shareholder corporation, as provided for in the Delaware State Code of the United States. The single shareholder and owner of Publiks Inc is Alvan Azinna Chibuzo Ikoku, the Founder, President and Chair. The corporation is also registered in the State of California and headquartered in San Francisco, CA.

The Publiks Group was established in 2020 by the Founder, Alvan Azinna Chibuzo Ikoku, as a division of The Ikoku Group, and thus tasked with the administration, management, operationalization and further development of Publiks Inc, the Products and Services, as well as a range of present and future endeavors.

The Publiks Group 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. The sole interests-holder and owner of The Ikoku Group is Alvan Azinna Chibuzo Ikoku, the Founder, President and Chair. The Publiks Group and The Ikoku Group are both registered and headquartered in Wilmington, Delaware.

Under the arrangement stipulated in 2020, Publiks Inc remains a single-shareholder corporation, whose administration, development and management is officially housed, protected and run within The Publiks Group. Alvan Azinna Chibuzo Ikoku remains the Founder, President and Chair of both Publiks Inc and The Ikoku Group. The Publiks Group and Publiks Inc are both also officially known under the business and trademark name, Publiks. And the term, “Publiks,” as used in official The Ikoku Group, The Publiks Group and Publiks Inc documents, statements and policies, as well as products, programs, services and sites, and elsewhere, shall include this same aforementioned arrangement.

As a core function of the arrangement, The Publiks Group conducts the administration, development and management of Publiks assets, products, services and present and future endeavors via four (4) overlapping areas or units of focus. Each of these are further described in the sections listed below:

1. Publiks Inc;
2. Publiks Sites;
3. Real | Intellectual Property; and
4. Research | Development.

The Publiks Group is thus structured to carry out two overlapping purposes — first, to facilitate Publiks Inc in achieving its mission to enhance public awareness and knowledge about and foster global interrelationships among people, communities and societies in Africa, the Americas, Asia, Australasia and Europe — and second, to ultimately assist The Ikoku Group in fulfilling its own mission to foster care and creativity, culture and communities, ethics and innovation in fields, issues and people of enduring concern to the Founder and Partners. As always, such work has as its overarching objective the improvement of lives and betterment of societies.

The Publiks Group 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.

The development of The Publiks Group and Publiks Inc (known as “Publiks”) 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 Publiks Group and Publiks Inc and their 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 Publiks Group and Publiks Inc 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 Publiks Group and Publiks Inc, operating as a for-profit entities, 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 Publiks Group and Publiks Inc 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 Publiks Group and Publiks Inc 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.
