Nigeria
The Loughborough University alumni group in Nigeria are focused on networking and professional development. Due to the competitive job market in Nigeria, experienced alumni are often willing to guide recent graduates through the recruitment process.
A key name in the alumni group is Paul Oluikpe, who has collaborated with the University on several occasions. Paul was also shortlisted for a coveted British Council Award in 2017, for Professional Achievement in Nigeria.
Members of our Global Engagement team occasionally travel to Nigeria to support student recruitment events and to hold pre-departure briefings. They are interested in working with alumni volunteers to help support these activities.
If you would like to be involved in the Nigeria alumni group, please get in touch.
