If you’re to choose a study destination where would it be? Would it be in Africa?
Sudan is in a crisis which has prompted nations including Nigeria to begin rescue operations.
Interestingly, many stranded Nigerians are there to study.
A global ranking report shows that Sudan Universities are not among the top 500 tertiary
institutions worldwide.
Several factors can prompt Nigerian families to choose schools anywhere outside Nigeria.
From multiple UTME attempts to enduring strikes and uncertain date of course completion;
not to mention unavailability of jobs.
Is this why Nigerians are making drastic moves to get a seemingly better education?
Since 2021 when a coup in Sudan ended a transitional government put in place after the fall
of
Omar al-Bashir two years earlier, Sudan has been run by the army, with coup leader General
Abdel-Fattah Burhan as de facto ruler.
The developments in Sudan over the last few days are not good for the stability of the
nation or its prospects for any transition to democratic rule or even as a study destination.
As it was in the case of Nigerian students in Ukraine rescued 100 days after the war began,
how swift are evacuation processes carried out in the event of a crisis that affects Nigerians
in diaspora?
Is it time for the Nigerian Government to review their contingency plans for Nigerians in war
torn zones
Better still, can rapid developments in the educational sector reduce the quest to seek
further studies outside Nigeria?
