The Federal government has announced a five-year suspension of the Bilateral Education Agreement, BEA, programme to promote student growth, prioritise welfare, and strengthen Nigeria’s education system.
Minister of Education, Tunji Alausa, made the announcement, in a statement in Abuja, after a comprehensive review of academic programmes available overseas.
He noted that the decision followed careful evaluation which revealed that all courses offered abroad through the BEA scheme were now available, and in many cases better enhanced within Nigerian institutions.
