UK based Education Consultant Plans Massive Recruitment of Nigerians into Foreign Universities in 2026

A United Kingdom based Education Consultant, Benson Adeeso, has unveiled plans to triple admission of Nigerians into foreign universities in 2026.

Adeeso, who spoke to journalists yesterday in Lagos, said more than 80 students were recruited into Universities abroad through his company between January 2025 and December 2025.

The consultant noted that they are Students of universities in United Kingdom, New Zealand, Ireland, America, Canada and Switzerland.

“The projection we have for 2026 is to recruit times three more of what we did in 2025.

“We have been able to recruit about 80 students between January and now. We have two in-takes in a year – May and September.

“We actually gave admissions to these students in different countries of United Kingdom, New Zealand, Ireland, America, Canada and Switzerland,” He said.

While touching on the importance of schooling abroad, Adeeso said the educational system is uninterrupted and certificates issued internationally recognised.

He cited the instance of some universities in the United Kingdom not trusting certificates from Nigerian Universities.

The consultant urged the Minister of Education to ensure that the educational system is uninterrupted by any strike action and ensure that a page is taken from the playbook of universities abroad for recognized certificates internationally.

He noted that the consequences of strike action are enormous on the students, ranging from lack of concentration to discouragement from going to the University.

“Having a sound education cannot but be overemphasized. You will be able to know your left from your right if you are educated. You will be able to defend yourself bearing in mind the rules and regulations.

“Schooling abroad is good because you can actually finish within three years. And then, If you want to return back home you can start your life or you want to stay. What is important is that you have a degree that is internationally recognized.

“Some of the Universities that I have worked with in the UK do not have confidence in the certificates we bring from Nigeria. I dont know why but it is not for me to answer.

“I would urge the education minister to adopt the good practice obtainable in the UK for example. There should be nothing like Strike nor demonstration.

“The consequences of strike action are enormous on the students. The Students wont be able to graduate when they are supposed to. There will be lack of concentration. It discourages a lot of students from going to the University.” Adeeso stated.

On the importance of education, Adeeso
said it is a basic necessity for every person, as it guides one’s directional path and equips with defence skills.

The consultant advised young adults not to be discouraged from educational pursuit, assuring them pay day in earnest.

“Education is a basic necessity for every person. You will be able to know your left from your right if you are educated. You will be able to defend yourself bearing in mind the rules and regulations.

“I would encourage every young adult out there to strive on and follow up till the end,” the consultant stated.
