Why can't GEJ improve our home Universities for these "first class graduates" to study or to be trained here. This simply means education in dis country is a mess.

Out of 940 first class graduates. They need only 100? Whereas more than 30000 militants were sent abroad 4 rehabilitation. Our president is now encouraging us to be a problem2 d society rather than an asset to the society.

They are bragging about the fact that Nigerian education is not good enough.

The MINISTER OF EDUCATION is proudly announcing that 100 students in the entire country will receive a quality education... IN ANOTHER COUNTRY. They didn't even say where. Just "anywhere but Nigeria".

Nigeria. Is. A. Joke.

The presidential scholarship scheme for first class graduates has been in effect since 2012. It is usually awarded to about 100 first class grads per year and is based strictly on merit as far as I am aware. These students are only sponsored when they gain admissions into the top 25 Universities in the world and are made to sign a legal bond that will ensure they'll return to the country to serve. I personally know of beneficiaries who have been on this scholarship for about two years now. Some are through with their masters programs and are now doing their PhDs. They have not been abandoned. If in doubt about the scholarship, you can visit the thread https://www.nairaland.com/1017779/pressid-scholarship-aptitude-test-scores.

Jonathan has performed below expectation. However, credit should be given where it is due.
Well said. Give credit where its due. People just criticise for the sake of it, no objectivity undecided

Give then job !
give them job and they earn 250,000 monthly and it ends there, what abt gaining wilder knowledge that will give them opportunity to establish themselves to be the one to employ people instead of working for somebody. I believe those graduates will prefer the offer made to them then given them a job.

Thought this is a new scheme...
It started in 2012 with more than 200 beneficiaries as at the last round. I can't believe this is just getting noticed by most people.
Nigeria... Relevant news spread very slow!

withinnigeria:

MINISTER of Education, Malam Ibrahim Shekarau, has said the Federal Government is set to sponsor 100 first class graduates for further studies abroad.

He spoke on Sunday in Kano during a media interaction and an awards ceremony.

Shekarau said the100 first class materials would be sponsored under the Special Presidential Scholarship Programme.

According to him, President Goodluck Jonathan has instructed the Nigerian Universities Commission (NUC) to select the best graduates and secure admissions for them to study up to doctorate level in universities abroad.

“President Jonathan instructed that best students should be screened all over the country irrespective of their locations for scholarships outside the country,” he said.

Shekarau said the first batch had been screened and would soon leave the country to study in the best 25 universities in the world.

The minister said as part of the government’s effort to provide Nigerians qualitative education some university lecturers had been sponsored for various training locally and abroad.

“The lecturers will study both within and outside Nigeria under the Tertiary Educational Trust Fund (TETFund).

men na book we go chop ni. After the school what will the government have to offer them? In my opinion jobs should be given to them with that they can sponsor them selves further.

Why abroad? Why not ahome?


This leaders are putting it to our face that our higher institution is one big failed program... Shiiiiiii!
U just spoke my mind. The money for a program in abroad for a single graduate would have served more graduates here in Naija Universities. They can not just think straight. GMB will put things right bro.

Re: FG To Sponsor 100 First Class Graduates Abroad by Nobody: 3:09pm On Dec 29, 2014
You don't have to go abroad to get quality education if you fix the education system we have here. Wole Soyinka is a product of a Nigerian University (UI) why don't these myopic leaders spend the money fixing the universities here instead of contributing to the development of foreign universities. Do they not know that foregn universities use the higher fees they charge foreign students to subsidize education for their locals? Why don't they spend the money recruiting the best foreign lecturers to come here and impact their knowledge for which more than 100 students will benefit?

Re: FG To Sponsor 100 First Class Graduates Abroad by Michael33(m): 4:20pm On Dec 29, 2014

Re: FG To Sponsor 100 First Class Graduates Abroad by uncjay(m): 8:17pm On Dec 29, 2014
This is it, when such a program is designed and designated abroad, what then happens to our tertiary institutions here at home. They spent huge money to better the lot of universities abroad with firm foundation already, and leave our very own universities tattered and underdeveloped...
