IN a sign of confidence in the Nigerian economy,
Australia’s Trade and Investment agency,
Austrade, will hold its first ever Australi-
focussed education exhibition later this year in
Lagos.
Speaking with The Guardian during a recent visit
to Nigeria on the reason for the exhibition,
Australia’s Senior Trade Commissioner, John
Madew, said: “Australia has a strong track record
of innovation and success. It is the home to
some of the world’s leading educational
institutions, researchers and academics,
including 15 Nobel Prize winners.
“Australia also has four of the ten most liveable
cities in the world. Why won’t you want to study
with some of the best minds in some of the
safest and most liveable cities in the world?”
The inaugural Future Unlimited West Africa
Education Exhibition 2015 will provide
prospective Nigerian undergraduate and
postgraduate students an excellent opportunity
to discuss study plans directly with qualified
representatives from up to 15 Australian
education institutions.
He said that a number of Nigerian alumni of
Australian universities would also be on hand to
speak to interested students and parents about
their personal experiences of studying in
Australia.
According to him, the exhibition will hold on
September 25 and 26 at the Eko Hotel, Victoria
Island and Sheraton Hotel, Ikeja, in Lagos.
Australian Trade Commissioner for West Africa,
Gordon Chakaodza added, “The exhibition will be
an excellent opportunity to learn about the
benefits of studying in Australia, including
obtaining first-hand information about current
student visa regulations.”
