Commendable.....


However, the schools are limited and only 2 Russell listed schools. What about the Oxbridge, Imperial College London, King's College London, UCL? If Nigeria wants to develop its intellectual capital and ensure its best and brightest come to add their quota to the country's development, she should send them to the best schools in the world. Chinese students constitute the largest contingent of foreign students in the best schools in the UK and we're surprised about China's rapid development? Let me not even talk about India.

U guys should study hard.

You can explore other scholarship opportunities you might qualify for from either your program/university or country of choice.

Nice.

Are they still doing this. The money that could be used to upgrade our public universities. What is Nigeria going to gain from those going when they will never return back home

The schools listed above are very standard and in the top 2% universities in the world. There is more to it than the school one attends as there is a need for each individual to discover him(her) self.
