UNBA is committed to helping Nigerian immigrants fully integrate into Canadian society by offering essential newcomer support, providing educational programs on topics such as Immigration Law and Career Success, and empowering members through civic engagement and strong community partnerships.
Aligned with our constitutional objective to support members in need, we actively identify with Nigerians in crisis and provide community-based relief to families facing significant challenges, loss, or emergency (such as fire or bereavement). We mobilize community resources and networks to offer immediate, compassionate aid, ensuring no member faces hardship alone.
We create vital opportunities for continuous professional learning and economic growth by hosting specialized workshops, mentorship programs, and skill-building sessions. Our resources are designed to empower youth, students, and immigrant professionals with the necessary tools for achieving success in the competitive Canadian job market. Topics include Immigration Law updates, job search strategies, and Manitoba tenant rights and laws.
We actively encourage and promote community leadership and responsible participation in Brandon, MB. We ensure the collective voices of our members are heard and well-represented in local governance through targeted advocacy efforts, such as engaging directly with the Brandon School Division’s Board of Trustees.

We build strong relationships with local organizations, businesses, and institutions to create opportunities that benefit both our members and the wider Brandon community.
We preserve and proudly share the rich Nigerian culture and heritage, enriching the local cultural scene through vibrant community festivals and artistic showcases. We host the annual Nigerian Flag Raising Ceremony at the Brandon City Hall, organize cultural events like the flagship Naija Summer Fest, and actively celebrate the accomplishments of Nigerians in Brandon.
