It is a valid concern that many Nigerian universities are struggling to maintain comprehensive archives, often due to a lack of digitization, frequent strikes, and inadequate funding for administrative infrastructure. While some institutions have alumni associations that do excellent work, these efforts are often fragmented and fail to capture the breadth of the diasporic impact made by former students. To change this, universities should establish dedicated digital legacy offices that actively partner with alumni across the globe to curate oral histories, publish digitized copies of yearbooks, and maintain interactive online platforms. By treating alumni history as a living asset rather than a dusty filing cabinet, institutions can foster a stronger sense of identity and provide the younger generation with tangible blueprints for their own success. Creating a centralized national portal to aggregate these stories would also bridge the gap between home-based achievements and the significant contributions of Nigerians in the global academic landscape.
