No fewer than 9,000 Nigerian students are currently studying in Malaysian universities, the country’s High Commissioner to Nigeria, Mr Lim Juay Jin, has said. Jin disclosed this in Ado Ekiti on Sunday at the Afe Babalola University during a visit to the institution.
Jin who spoke at an event tagged “Diplomatic Talk“, hosted by the Department of International Relations and Diplomacy of the university said that the affected Nigerians chose to study in Malaysia because they realised that his country was “one of the top tertiary education destinations in the world”.
He said that the students were studying at all levels of education including undergraduate, masters as well as doctoral levels.
The envoy attributed the development to availability of facilities, affordable fees, friendly learning environment, quality tutors, good governance and stable economy.
Jin said that the GDP of his country with a population of just 30 million people, stood at 237b dollars, while its per capita income was 8,800 dollars.
He said that Malaysia was also doing well in the areas of agriculture, especially palm oil, which he said, his country that gained independence from Britain in 1957, had been able to use to its advantage.
