Celebrate Your Pride with Custom University of Ibadan Lapel Pins: A Guide for Alumni and Students

🎓 A Legacy You Can Wear

Imagine this: It’s your class reunion. Twenty years since you last walked the halls of UI. You’re shaking hands, laughing, posing for photos—and on your chest? A sleek, shining custom University of Ibadan lapel pin. Subtle, but powerful. It says: I belong.

When John, UI Class of 2015, ordered 200 pins for his faculty reunion in Ibadan, he didn’t expect the pins to spark so many conversations.

“People kept asking where I got them—some even wanted to trade. It became the highlight of our event.”

Custom lapel pins aren’t just fashion accessories. They’re pride tokens. Identity markers. Conversation starters.

And guess what? They’ve never been more popular among UI Alumni Association Lagos Chapter and student clubs alike.

🏛️ Why University of Ibadan Lapel Pins Matter

Let’s be honest—UI isn’t just any school. It’s the University. The oldest in Nigeria. The one with history baked into every building, every badge.

Wearing a UI pin does something subtle but deep. It tells the world:

  • I studied where Wole Soyinka once did.

  • I’m part of a legacy of thinkers and builders.

  • I carry Nigerian university pride, and I wear it.

The tradition of wearing lapel pins for ceremonies, convocations, or even casual Fridays has taken root. They now show up during:

  • Graduation ceremonies

  • Alumni meetups

  • Inter-faculty tournaments

  • Student union campaigns

In short, UI lapel pins for alumni and students are more than cute accessories—they’re graduation memorabilia with soul.

So you want one. Or fifty. Or maybe five hundred for an upcoming Hall Week?
