Gambia begs NUC for more postgraduate scholarships for citizens

One of the English-speaking countries in West Africa, Gambia, has solicited for postgraduate scholarships in Nigerian universities for its students.

While commending the quality of Nigerian universities, the minister said Gambians who had earlier undergone postgraduate programmes in Nigerian universities under the World Bank-sponsored African Centre of Excellence are now playing strategic roles in the country. “As you know, education liberates the individual. We want to have functional education, one thing is to have your Masters and PhDs but then the other thing is for you to be able to solve societal problems,” Gomez posited.

” Even though we don’t have enough access; every year we have about 2 million Nigerian kids applying to universities and we barely meet up to 50 percent. ” Our new curriculum has just been launched and the visit is taking place at a time Nigeria re-engineered its curriculum. CCMAS is revolutionary and dynamic,” he said.
