MESSAGE FROM THE SOCIETY

Strathclyde is unique in its location (at the heart of Glasgow city) and status as one of the top 20 higher education institutions in the UK according to the Times and Sunday Times Good University Guide 2023, among other attributes. So congratulations on your choice of Strathclyde.

As a Nigerian here at Strathclyde, you have every reason to be proud of yourself as you are currently treading the path already trod by great Nigerian men and women. Among them was Dr Alex Ifeanyichukwu Ekwueme (first elected vice president of Nigeria).
