About UNAT

We Are

United in Culture,
Stronger Together

United Nigeria Association of Tulsa, formally Nigerian Union Tulsa, Inc. is a non-profit and non-political organization formed, registered, and incorporated in the state of Oklahoma in 1995. Founded in September of 1994, we are best described as an “Association of United Nigerians”. The goal of this organization has been and will continue to focus on the exposure to Nigerian cultures and traditions for educational purposes. Our greatest achievement is, perhaps, educating one another in our various rich cultures and traditions. We are indeed a blessed nation.

While we do encourage our members to participate in the activities of their various ethnic groups, we place more emphasis on the “Greater Nigeria” concept because we believe that is where our future lies. Promoting activities that emphasize Nigerian unity should not take anything away from any form of individuality. It, in fact, brings us closer together as we begin to see the wonderful similarities in our traditions. You could say that those of us in Tulsa who are members of United Nigeria Association have been defragmented.

We are dedicated to promoting the welfare of Nigerians and ALL people who have been affiliated with Nigeria in a very positive way.

For now, our resources limit us to Tulsa and vicinity. Even so, we will continue to work on fostering cultural awareness within the community.

“Our strength lies in our unity, our culture, and our shared commitment to uplifting one another as one united community.”

- Mr. Stephen Erue, Chairman.

Our Accomplishments

UNAT awarded scholarships to McLain High School students to encourage them to pursue academic excellence.

UNAT participates in this events by Representing Nigeria every other year. Kid’s world is organized by Tulsa Global Alliance, and visited by area school children from Tulsa, and its surrounding cities. Each Booth represents a country and the kids. Visits each booth to learn some important Facts about each country, and they present their passport to be stamped with a welcome Visa.

UNAT has participated in the annual MLK Parade for the most part of the last 20 years. The news station, Channel 8 has often Claimed that, we bring special flavor to this Event . This gives us great visibility in the City and allows us to participates in the Community to express appreciation for what Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. did for Humanity.

Every other year, UNAT is specifically invited By Eisenhower International School to participate in their International Day Events. This is much like the Kid’s world except that it's at a smaller scale.

The Organization has done a lot to impact our young Nigeria Americans and other kids with the rich cultural heritage of our great Nation. Our kids can perform cultural dances from around the nation, among other things. UNAT also provides volunteer opportunities for the youths.
