In 1983, a group of young men who had enrolled at the University of Nigeria, Enugu Campus during the same time period cultivated a unique friendship built on a common understanding, mutual respect, and common goals. Social interaction was the main focus of the friendship but these young men blossomed under the umbrella of strong friendship, trust, support, and understanding. They helped and supported each other socially, morally, financially, and academically. They began to organize and theme their own social activities rather than attending other people's events all the time.
They grew in character, form, and togetherness and decided to formally protect their relationship and pursue a greater commitment to each other. Thus, they formed a formal group and called it "The Human Race Fraternity"(HRF), alias "The Race". Members were formally called "Racers" and informally called "Men of Form".
The Racers went on to build strong bonds between them, instill discipline in each other through a defined set of norms/values and encourage each other in the pursuit of their short & long-term goals. They also envisioned growing collectively into a group that would contribute significantly to the development and progress of our community, country, continent, and world.
There was an ever-increasing crowd of people on campus who wished to associate with them. They organized some of the most memorable and prestigious events on Campus.
