It has been in existence since 2015 but made official in 2022, the association has been active since at least 2022, with significant milestones including its inaugural National Elections in August 2025 in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, where Ikechukwu Chukwunyere was elected National President amid over 2,000 delegates.
Under Chukwunyere’s leadership, BAVCCA has positioned itself as a key advocate for digital creators, focusing on welfare, policy influence, and global collaboration.
