… as Nigeria’s students in France increase by 283 percent

Education mobility holds immense potential to drive Nigeria’s economic growth by equipping young people with global skills, knowledge, and networks, the French Ambassador to Nigeria has said.

According to Marc Fonbaustier, the French envoy, deeper collaboration between Nigerian and international educational institutions can spur innovation, enhance workforce readiness, and contribute to the country’s long-term development goals.

“I just encourage Nigerian sons and daughters, your brothers, sisters, and everybody to travel and gain an experience abroad in a foreign country.

“It helps you to have a flexible mindset, to be adaptable, to be more creative, to look at foreigners as a source of inspiration. International mobility is probably the key for the future of your country,” he said.
