NIFES, NIFES LAUTECH, AND NILAA
The Nigeria Fellowship of Evangelical Students (NIFES) is an evangelical Christian body working amongst students in tertiary institutions in Nigeria. We are non-denominational and inter-denominational body of students and graduates that engage the campus and society with godly values. NIFES is an affiliate of IFES (International Fellowship of Envalgelical Students). NILAA (NIFES LAUTECH Alumni Association) is the alumni body of NIFES in LAUTECH (Ladoke Akintola University of Technology, Ogbomoso).
To achieve an all-inclusive NILAA where membership is not first for personal benefit, but primarily a channel to display the love of Christ, where pride of personal accomplishments is melted away with a heart zealous to bear one another’s burden, where the hurts of past offences give way to the Christ’s commandment to forgive.
