United Nigeria Association of Tulsa

About United Nigeria Association of Tulsa

United Nigeria Association of Tulsa welcomes Nigerians and all people affiliated with Nigeria to join a thriving community dedicated to cultural preservation, unity, and mutual support. Founded in September 1994 and formally incorporated as a non-profit organization in Oklahoma in 1995, UNAT has grown into a respected cultural institution serving Tulsa, OK and its vicinity. At its heart, UNAT believes in the power of belonging—creating a welcoming space where members can celebrate their heritage while building connections across Nigeria's diverse ethnic groups. The organization's vision centers on unifying people through cultural interrelations, membership welfare, community partnerships, and support for local business and tourism. UNAT members describe themselves as "defragmented"—brought together through shared appreciation of Nigerian traditions and values. The organization embodies integrity of purpose, unity of diversity, cultural enlightenment, and commitment to educating the next generation about African and Nigerian heritage. Beyond cultural celebration, UNAT actively supports community needs through educational scholarships, youth mentorship, and volunteer opportunities that empower young Nigerian Americans. The organization dreams of establishing a Nigerian Cultural House featuring a library, museum displaying African and Nigerian arts, and a community health center to serve Tulsa residents. Whether you're a first-generation Nigerian, a long-time community member, or simply interested in learning about Nigerian culture, UNAT provides authentic connection and meaningful engagement. The organization's 20-year presence in Tulsa's MLK Parade, regular participation in international school events, and cultural exhibitions demonstrate deep roots and commitment to the local community. Join UNAT to experience belonging, cultural pride, and partnership with a dedicated community.
