I’m in London with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, and we are already making real progress — advancing a major partnership with Coventry University to bring UK degrees to Nigeria.

This is personal.

For too long, families have had to send their children thousands of miles away in search of quality education. We are changing that.

With Coventry University Nigeria, our students will be able to earn fully accredited UK degrees — at significantly lower cost — without leaving the country.

As I’ve said, we want Nigerian parents to enjoy having their children at home, while still receiving a world-class UK education.

The proposed campus in Alaro City, Lagos will offer Bachelor’s and Master’s programmes across STEMM, Business, and TVET, with admissions expected between Q3 and Q4 of 2026 (subject to approvals).

Beyond access, this is about building Nigeria’s human capital — developing the skills, talent, and workforce needed to drive innovation, productivity, and long-term national growth.

We are bringing global opportunity home — where it belongs.
