UK Government in-person higher education TNE mission to NigeriaNigeria is a priority country in the UK’s International Education Strategy. Following a successful TNE Mission in November 2023, the UK has engaged strongly, at a senior government and sector level, headed by Sir Steve, with influential Nigerian stakeholders, incl. The Nigerian Ministry of Education and the National Universities Commission (NUC).
The British Council will host its annual higher education conference, Going Global, in Africa for the first time this November, presenting an opportunity to focus on UK education partnerships on the continent.
In Nigeria specifically, there is strong momentum following last year’s mission. Nigeria has since launched its Guidelines for TNE, providing a clearer regulatory framework for UK universities seeking to develop higher education partnerships that increase the capacity of Nigerian institutions, including on research and curriculum design, linked to key needs in industry, and a more inclusive option to study.
The programme will include roundtables and networking receptions with key sector stakeholders, including NUC, Vice Chancellors, together with 1-2-1 sessions with local universities who have the capacity, and interest, to partner with UK institutions. DBT will also work with delegates after the mission to assist on partnership follow-up.
