Strengthening Alumni & Advancement Infrastructure in Nigerian Universities

Join Dr. Tunji Alausa, Nigeria’s Minister of Education, and other global leaders at the 2025 NHEF Higher Education Forum on Thursday, September 25, 2025, at 12:00 PM at 500 5th Avenue, 44th Floor, New York.

This year’s theme — Driving Sustainable Growth: Strengthening Alumni and Advancement Infrastructure in Nigerian Universities — highlights the untapped potential of alumni as powerful allies in building stronger, more resilient institutions. Across Nigeria, many universities still depend heavily on limited public funding, without the systems to actively engage alumni communities or secure long-term support.

At the heart of the conversation is the urgent need to move from one-off fundraising to strategic, structured alumni engagement that builds lasting support systems, drives innovation, and fuels sustainable growth. By cultivating strong alumni networks, fostering a culture of giving, and embedding advancement as a core function of university operations, Nigerian institutions can unlock new opportunities for transformation and long-term stability.

The Forum will also explore how harnessing global capital can fund transformative projects, strengthen institutional capacity, and position Nigerian universities for global competitiveness. Together, these discussions will provide practical models and global insights that can reimagine how philanthropy, alumni, and community-driven investment shape the future of higher education in Nigeria.

Don’t miss this chance to be part of the conversation shaping the future of Nigerian higher education. We look forward to welcoming you!
