The Nigeria-Britain Association (N-BA) was formed in Nigeria in 1969 as a corresponding association now known as the British-Nigeria Education Trust, which is based in the UK and had H.R.H. Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh, as its patron. In 2009, the association was incorporated as a trust, a non-profit making organisation dedicated to developing relationships between individuals and organisations in Nigeria, Britain and the Commonwealth resident in Nigeria.
The Association also organises socio-cultural activities designed to bring together friends and associates from Nigeria, Britain and the Commonwealth with a collective vision to impact positively on the community.
