The Permanent Secretary, Federal Ministry of Education, Mrs. Didi Esther Walson-Jack, at the Global Gateway High-Level Event on Education in Brussels, signed an agreement for a transformative initiative, which secured a groundbreaking opportunity for six Nigerian Universities to access funding under the EU’s Intra-Africa Mobility Scheme.
In a statement signed by FOLASADE BORIOWO, DIRECTOR (PRESS & PR) states that Under the initiative, the European Union will spend €27 million, in the education and healthcare sectors in Africa.
Six Nigerian Universities are among Educational institutions that will benefit from the 15 Intra-Africa Mobility Scheme Projects funded by the EU with €27 million under the flagship Youth Mobility for Africa
The EU has allocated €1.8 million to each of the six Projects under the Intra-Africa Mobility Scheme, providing a total of €27 million in funding. These Projects, to be facilitated by various Nigerian Universities, aim to enhance learning mobility opportunities for Students, Trainees, and Staff across the Continent, focusing on developing high-level green and digital skills.

Each University’s participation underscores the collaborative effort towards advancing Education and skill development in Africa”.
Commissioner Urpilainen, EU Commissioner for International Partnership, also launched a key initiative of the Youth Action Plan in EU external relations, the Africa-Europe Youth Academy, which will provide opportunities for formal and informal learning and exchanges to young people looking to improve their leadership skills and create networks between Africa and Europe.
