Scripture Union (Nigeria) Institute
Our History
Founded under the guidance of Scripture Union (Nigeria), SUi was established following a proposal presented at the 114th National Council meeting in 2024. After thorough deliberation by the National Executive Committee and approval at the 115th and 116th National Council meetings in 2025 at the National Camp of Faith, Okigwe, and the Training and Conference Centre, Ibadan, SUi was officially launched to commence certificate and advanced certificate programs. With a mandate to start as soon as practicable with at least 30 students, SUi builds on SU Nigeria’s legacy of Bible-based ministry to offer transformative education.
The Scripture Union (Nigeria) Institute (SUi) is committed to training people to become committed Christians of God-fearing influence. Aligned with Scripture Union (Nigeria)’s mission, we aim “to reach children, young people, and families, nurturing them through Bible engagement and training people to become committed Christians of influence.” Our programs integrate Christian beliefs with academics, equipping students with theoretical and practical knowledge to develop self-confidence, foster innovation, and serve the Church and humanity with dependence on God.
Through our holistic approach, we empower students to address Nigeria’s challenges—such as corruption and social inequality—with biblical principles and practical skills. Our sustainable initiatives, including a Green Campus and digital learning platforms, ensure accessibility and environmental stewardship. Join SUi to become a transformative leader for God’s kingdom!
All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching.
— 2 Timothy 3:16 (ESV)
