Nigeria tightens foreign exchange controls to limit use for study abroad

Jul 7, 2019
Education Export Trends

As of March 2016, Nigeria has implemented stricter foreign exchange controls, aiming to limit the use of foreign currency for studying abroad. These measures have had a significant impact on students in Nigeria who aspire to receive education from international institutions.

The Background

Nigeria has one of the largest populations in Africa and is known for its vibrant culture and thriving economy. However, due to the recent economic challenges faced by the country, the Nigerian government has taken steps to control the outflow of foreign exchange and preserve its reserves. These measures include placing restrictions on foreign currency transactions, particularly those related to educational purposes such as studying abroad.

The Impact on Students

For Nigerian students who dream of pursuing education abroad, these tightened foreign exchange controls pose challenges, making it more difficult for them to fund their studies overseas. Students now face limitations in converting their local currency into foreign currency, which affects the affordability and accessibility of international education.

Despite the hurdles, Nigerian students remain determined to pursue their dreams of studying abroad. They seek opportunities to gain a global perspective, acquire international qualifications, and enhance their future prospects. Students recognize the value of studying in diverse educational environments and aim to develop skills that will contribute to their personal and professional growth.
