Uruemu Esiri Oghen

The Nigerian Alumni Association is one of the most active in the global alumni network. Working with last year’s Alumni Award winner Faith Osiobe, the success of the Association is down to a team effort, and our winners Joy Duncan, Okeoghene Ekere, Uruemu Esiri Oghen, Queen Elizabeth Okwum and Lola Olaide-Stephen are receiving their awards in recognition of great team work.

Esiri’s experience at the University helped shape her leadership role and is currently an HR Consultant engaging with others in their professional and personal development.

In her volunteering capacity she is Secretary of the Lagos/South West zone and manages the Whatsapp platform working with the team to keep the network functioning.

Faith said: “Esiri is diligent in her volunteering service and contributions to the alumni community working with me and other colleagues as a supportive team member.”

Esiri is very proud of her volunteering and said:  “I never expected to take up such an important role. The position has broadened my network and also given me the opportunity to assist other members in Nigeria. We are one big happy family and I am particularly pleased with the after school support the University offers its graduates.”
