Director’s welcome note

Welcome to the SRAAA Community

On behalf of the Student Recruitment Advisors and Agents Association, I’m delighted you’ve chosen to visit our site. Whether you’re a prospective student, a dedicated agent, or an educational partner, you’ve come to the right place to find clear, trustworthy guidance on studying abroad. 

We understand all too well the heartbreak of young Nigerians who have been misled—scammed out of hard-earned fees by impostors claiming to be agents or sent off with big promises that never materialized. We also know that many genuine agents struggle to keep pace with ever-evolving immigration rules, and that students often lack the information and support they need to navigate complex academic and career pathways. 

SRAAA was founded to address these very challenges. We work tirelessly to: 

  • Vet and accredit agents, so you can be confident that you’re dealing with professionals who adhere to the highest ethical and legal standards. 
  • Provide up-to-date training on UK, EU, US, Canada, Australia and other key study-destination visa requirements, ensuring agents and students alike have the knowledge to make informed decisions. 
  • Offer support services for Nigerian students already abroad—whether you’re facing visa queries, academic hurdles, or simply need a listening ear, we’re here for you. 

Our mission is simple: to build trust in the student-recruitment ecosystem and to champion the rights, ambitions and wellbeing of every Nigerian student. Thank you for being part of our community. Please explore our resources, reach out with your questions, and join us in raising professional standards that empower young people to achieve their dreams. 

Warm regards, 

Christian Egharevba MBA, CMgr
