UNIVERSITIES WITH FULL SCHOLARSHIP FOR NIGERIAN STUDENTS
Hello, student, I know you are planning for the future ahead of you and you really want to start from your academics.
At first, let me give you reasons why most Nigerian students want to study abroad
In 2014, the rate of unemployment was a little above 8%. At present, it has risen to 23.1%. What does this imply? It means that about 45 million Nigerians don’t have jobs. Thus, those who will find good jobs also needs to have a sound and competitive education.
Hence, I will say it is important for Nigerian students to gain the required knowledge by studying abroad. Although, tuition and the likes stand as huge obstacles to this dream, over the years, these hindrances have been greatly reduced. Thanks to the provision of scholarships.
So I need to applaud you first for making a decision to study abroad. You have sincerely made a good choice by wanting to have a taste of international scholarships. I know you really want to get your degree outside the shores of your country but you are a bit limited by your finances.
Not to worry, I will tell you something you can do.

The truth is, the floor is open for development, but the path to growth is not easy.
A wise man once said, “those who lack the tools to change cannot effect change themselves”.
Nigeria as a country is suffering from a defect in the Education sector and this knowledge is power. It’s hard to admit but Nigeria as a country is far behind so many countries in terms of knowledge. So, It is time for you to expand our borders and go beyond your current level.
In conclusion, Norway as a country has a 99.5% literacy rate which has caused a positive impact on the country’s economy. It is essential for Nigeria to get to a level whereby our literacy rate is high which will, in turn, have a positive impact on our economy and help to redefine our position in the world.
