About
UNIV Nigeria

UNIV Nigeria is an educational, non-profit platform for tertiary students in Nigeria designed to promote human and professional development.

It is an initiative of the Educational Co-operation Society (ECS) and is inspired by the teachings of Opus Dei, a prelature of the Catholic Church and by the international #Univ_Forum that began in Rome in 1968. UNIV Nigeria serves as a space for young minds to connect, reflect on contemporary social issues, and foster leadership skills aimed at serving society.
