The Federal Government has pledged to strengthen collaboration with the National Association of Nigerian Students to improve the welfare and protection of Nigerian students studying abroad.
The commitment was made during a strategic engagement between officials of the Federal Ministry of Foreign Affairs and a high-powered delegation of NANS led by the association’s Director of Diaspora and International Students Affairs, Daniel Oyeniyi.
According to a statement issued by Oyeniyi on Monday, the Minister of Foreign Affairs was represented at the meeting by the ministry’s Assistant Director, Ezinne Osigwe.
Speaking during the engagement, Oyeniyi expressed concern over what he described as the disconnect between the ministry and Nigerian students in the diaspora, saying many students abroad had been left without adequate institutional support.
