Nigeria to Benefit from AASGON's 10,000 India-Africa Scholarship Awards

Abuja, Nigeria – In a landmark initiative set to bolster educational ties between India and Africa, the Africa Asia Scholars Global Network (AASGON) has announced the launch of 10,000 scholarships for African students. This programme, unveiled ahead of the Global South Universities Association (GSUA) Summit Awards 2025, is expected to significantly benefit Nigerian students across various academic levels.

The scholarships, covering diplomas, undergraduate, postgraduate, and doctoral programmes, aim to bridge the educational gap between the Global North and South. AASGON’s President, Abdul D. Mohammed, emphasised the organisation’s commitment to fostering cooperation within the Global South, aligning with India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision for empowering these regions.

Scheduled for an official launch on 25th March 2025, in New Delhi, the event will be presided over by Dr Vijay Kalantri, President of the All India Association of Industries (AIAI) and Chairman of the World Trade Centre Mumbai. The ceremony is expected to attract high-profile dignitaries, including India’s Minister of External Affairs, African diplomatic corps members, educational leaders, and representatives from international organisations such as UNESCO and the British Council.

For Nigeria, this initiative presents a substantial opportunity to enhance its human capital development. With a significant youth population eager for quality education, the scholarships can alleviate financial barriers and provide access to advanced studies in India. This aligns with Nigeria’s ongoing efforts to improve its educational sector and equip its workforce with the necessary skills for technological and socio-economic advancement.

Dr Sanjeev Seth

Dr Sanjeev Seth, AASGON’s Director of Educational Development, highlighted that the scholarships would not only provide academic opportunities but also help build critical infrastructure and skills necessary to advance technological and socio-economic development across Africa. This development is particularly timely as Nigeria seeks to diversify its economy and strengthen sectors such as technology, healthcare, and engineering.

The scholarships are part of a broader strategy to enhance India-Africa relations, reflecting India’s commitment to supporting African development. This initiative complements existing collaborations and underscores the importance of educational exchange in fostering mutual growth.

As the March 25 launch approaches, Nigerian students and educational institutions are encouraged to prepare for the application process, which will be handled by their partner in Nigeria, the Eagle Charitable Deeds Foundation (www.tecdfoundation.org). Detailed information regarding eligibility criteria and application procedures is anticipated to be released during the official announcement.

This scholarship programme not only signifies a strengthening of diplomatic ties but also represents a pivotal step towards sustainable development through education. For Nigeria, it offers a pathway to empower its youth, enhance its educational standards, and contribute to the nation’s overall progress.
