Why more Nigerians seek education in Ukraine - Envoy
   

The Ukrainian Ambassador to Nigeria, Mr. Valery Vasyliev, has attributed the increasing number of Nigerians willing to study in his country every year to the fact that education is relatively cheaper in the country compared with other European countries.

He also attributed the trend to the high education standard in the Eastern European country.

Vasyliev said in Abuja on Friday while briefing journalists on the 20th anniversary of Ukraine's independence that in 2010 over 780 Nigerians second visas to study in his country's universities, academies and institutes.

He also recollected that 15 Nigerian students enjoyed scholarships from the Ukrainian government in 2010 while 20 scholarships were granted this year.

He said, "The partner ties between the two countries could be traced back to the 1960-80s when thousands of Ukrainian specialists worked at the construction of industrial enterprises in Nigeria and hundreds of Nigerian students studied in Ukrainian universities and institutes.

"Today numerous graduates of Ukrainian higher educational establishments work in government bodies, educational and health care institutions and business structures of Nigeria."

Vasyliev said Ukraine had the potential to become an economic leader in Eastern Europe using its rich natural resources, educated workforce and advantageous geography.

He added that the country had been working towards improving energy independence and reducing the share of imported non-renewable energy.

The envoy said the development of the Ukraine-Nigeria trade and economic relations was notable by the stability and tendency to the growth of volumes of trade turnover. He added that his country considers Nigeria as one of its key partners in Africa.

He, however, said Ukraine needed more in-depth cooperation with the Nigerian public and private counterparts to give further dynamics to the existing level of political dialogue, enhancement of bilateral trade relations, and sharing of Ukrainian high-tech industries expertise among others.

Vasyliev said that Ukrainian companies could effectively participate in the development of gas transport system of Nigeria and the operation of gas fields as well as marginal oil fields.

          AFRIKRAINE CASMIR ONLINE MAGAZINE is saying "what a big shame to our government for such news".Thousands of people are flocking embassies to seek for visa due to the frustration of Nigerian educational system.
      
         The huge crowd queueing at the American embassy for visa everyday is no longer an interesting news.The latest is now Ukraine,sooner it will be visa to Niger Republic or Cotonou."What a shame".

        Financially Ukraine can not stand Nigeria,yet they are doing far better than Nigeria that is blessed with uncountable barrels of oil.Machines that were built 30 to 40 years ago in Ukraine are still active and working.Their system of education is far better than Nigeria that has enough crude oil to waste.

     
         Followers of AFRIKRAINE CASMIR ONLINE MAGAZINE,what else can we say to our leaders that refuses to improve standard of living,standard of education,transportation and other things to make life comfortable for Nigerians.
      
 There are bugging issues that should be on our foreheads,that is why AFRIKRAINE CASMIR ONLINE MAGAZINE is on board to bring forth the views of our young generations.Let us keep learning from their mistakes,let us get ready on how we are going to utilise and manage our natural resources to develop God's own country,Nigeria.

       
 As usual,let us maintain peace with suffering and smiling till when God will give way to the right people to manage that special resources God has given to us.Above all keep praying.
