There’s a precipitous drop in students going abroad” — Education Minister speaks on Nigerian tertiary education
The Minister of Education, Tunji Alausa, says fewer Nigerian students are now travelling abroad for studies, attributing the trend to improvements in local universities.
He said:
“There’s a precipitous drop in the number of students going to study outside Nigeria. Our tertiary education is better now; we have academic session continuity, and we are investing so much.
Kids are staying here, the quality of education is now better. Within 2024/2025, the number of Nigerians going out has significantly dropped.”
