The forum was later re-organized and registered with Corporate Affairs Commission Abuja as non-profit, non-sectarian, non-religious and non-governmental organization in 2005 to enable members participate fully in human development programs especially environmental protection, good governance,  health information services and poverty alleviation in Nigeria and beyond.
