Ghana High Commission in Nigeria has said there are over 5,000 Nigerians studying in tertiary institutions in Ghana and has given the assurance of their welfare and safety in the country.
Officials of the high commission, Ghana Export Promotion Agency and the University of Ghana stated this while briefing the press in Lagos on the coming International Students Recruitment Fair slated for Lagos.
Nicolas Qyansah of the High Commission said the country would be happy to give access to Ghanaian education to more Nigerians.
“We realized that universities in Ghana come to Nigeria to recruit students but we are want to streamline that and before now, the High Commission had been involved in the recruitment of international students here in Nigeria as we started participating in the Lagos International Trade Fair in 2017.
“This year, we are bringing 16 universities from Ghana to Nigeria. They include public and private ones. Some of them offer undergraduate and postgraduate courses. We do a lot of collaboration and we have a seamless transition for Nigerian students going to study in Ghana,” he said.
