The Federal Government through the National Universities
Commission has called on qualified Nigerians to apply for the Chevening
scholarships, an initiative of the government of the United Kingdom.
The call comes amid the lingering strike by the Academic
Staff Union of Universities.
This was contained in a letter signed by the Deputy
Executive Secretary, Administration of the NUC, Chris Maiyaki, and addressed to
all vice-chancellors.
The commission said, “The National Universities Commission is in receipt of the letter from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Ref. TSW/BRI/V/T and dated 12 August 2022, with the attached Call Letter from the British High Commission Abuja dated 3rd August 2022, on the above subject.
“The British High
Commission has announced the call for applications for the Chevening
Scholarships to study in the UK, which opened on 2nd August 2022 and closes on
1 November 2022.
“The Chevening Scholarships are fully funded scholarships to
individuals from any background, who demonstrate the requisite skills and
commitment necessary to bring about positive change.
“Consequently, I write to forward the Call Letter to
Vice-Chancellors, for urgent attention and wide circulation in your various
universities. Interested individuals are expected to submit their applications
via www.chevening.org/apply.
“A detailed information on the eligibility criteria and
scholarship specifications can be found on www.chevening.org/scholarships.
As was the case in previous occasions, please, accept the
renewed assurances of the Executive Secretary’s highest considerations.”
