This historic event is coming after three virtual reunions and annual alumni parties in 2020 and 2021.

The organizers and hosts, FUTA North America FUTANA, Alumni, plan to pull off one of the most elaborate and elegant reunions ever.

FUTANA plans to bring back some cherished traditions and new activities for alumni and families to enjoy this weekend.

Events lined up for the weekend include:

– A Tour of Dallas
– Amala Joint
– Gbedu Night
– Sunset Boat Cruise
– Soccer and Zumba
– Axe Throwing
– Gun Range
– Texas BBQ
– Awards & Gala Dinner

Like they always say, Everything is Bigger and Better in Texas!. This reunion is shaping up to be as big as Texas.

The Alumni has made significant contributions to the development of the University, including providing food palliatives to support over 1,000 individuals and families during the COVID-19 lockdown.

Last year, FUTANA members donated N20 million worth of laptops to FUTA. The laptops are installed in the recently commissioned FUTA Innovation Center. At this Center, students can access the laptops to further their academic pursuits.

The North American Alumni group strongly supports the university in Nigeria. This celebration is befitting for all members.

Congratulations to all FUTA Alumni members as you celebrate.
