The second “N” stands for Nsukka. The University of Nigeria was founded in Nsukka in 1955 as the country’s first fully indigenous university. Although the university now includes multiple campuses, the original name—UNN—remains.

Nsukka and Enugu are located in southeastern Nigeria. Nsukka is a historic town in Enugu State, while Enugu city is the state capital. Both are part of the culturally rich Igbo region of Nigeria and are considered major academic and cultural centers.

The Lion is the official symbol of the University of Nigeria. It represents strength, leadership, and pride—values that generations of alumni and supporters identify with. The Lion has become a cultural icon for the university worldwide.

Absolutely. Cresta is for stylish, cultured people everywhere. Our pieces celebrate heritage, pride, and timeless design—no matter where you’re from.

Cresta is inspired by the heritage and identity of the University of Nigeria. We are currently in the process of establishing an official partnership with UNN, and we’re committed to honoring the university’s legacy through our designs.

Our designs aren’t generic prints. We create elevated collegiate-inspired pieces that celebrate West African and diaspora heritage. Each collection is intentionally designed and produced in small batches.

Yes, we do!

Most of our items are true-to-size, but some are more fitted. For more fitted items, we include sizing notes in the description and recommend ordering one size up.
