ABUJA, Aug. 19 (Xinhua) -- The Chinese government has offered 24 Nigerian students scholarship awards to pursue various degree programs in China, as the two countries seek to enhance educational exchanges and cooperation.

The scholarship is part of the China-Nigeria Bilateral Education Agreement (BEA).

Qin Jian, charge d'affaires of the Embassy of China in Nigeria, said at a pre-departure ceremony held for the beneficiaries in Abuja that education is one of the important areas of cooperation between the two countries.

"It is not only a demonstration of the close people-to-people exchanges between China and Nigeria, but also a great inspiration for deepening our bilateral exchange and cooperation in educational field in the future," Qin said late Thursday.

He urged the awardees to seize the opportunity to study hard while getting to know China well and enhance friendship.

"In an environment of different language, culture and life in China, I hope you will overcome any difficulties and challenges with courage, make full use of time, acquire professional knowledge, and strive for excellent results so as to live up to the expectations of your parents and your mother country," he added.

Nigeria's Permanent Secretary for Information Ayotunde Adesugba expressed gratitude to the Chinese government for extending another scholarship opportunity to excellent Nigerian students this year.

She said the consideration was well-appreciated by the government and people of the West African country.

Currently, about 237 Nigerian students are studying in China under government scholarship.

is the federal Scholarship board really involved in the nomination of students going to China or is it directly between China and the students?

The Chinese wants to really bond with Nigerians and I think they can help our economy better than the Americans

Believe me, these 24 students are connected. BEA is an annual event so don't come here and shout Sai Buhari

I was there for the 2013 zonal interview in Federal Owerri. Till today, no results were published, no feedback, No pass or fail. My friends and I keeping in touch waiting for them. The next thing we saw on the news was that Minister is escorting "successful" candidates to the airport

God helped me. I left the same year 2013 for China on my own - because it has been my dream to be here and my mum is ready to die to see my dreams come true. Bless you Mama

Sometime in 2014, we had a Nigerian gathering here. I meet some of these BEA students. One told me directly that he did not even know there was an exam for it. Can you imagine! I know them, I see them, some of them are my friends. To be honest with you, if not for Federal Character, some of them have no business being in school

Go ye into China and make Nigeria proud, or your tribes, according to Nairaland standards.
