Knowledge Creation & Sharing

Consequent to the third India-Africa Forum Summit (IAFS-III) that was held in October 2015, Bharat has been offering additional training programmes to Nigeria in diverse subjects ranging from agriculture, health, hydropower, water resources, etc. In the year 2018-19, about 74 Nigerians have been trained under IAFS-III Programmes in premier Indian institutions.

Capacity Building

Since 1964, Bharat has been supporting Nigeria’s efforts in capacity building under Indian Technical and Economic Cooperation (ITEC) Programme. Every year Bharat offered about 250+ civilian and defence training slots under ITEC/e-ITEC to Nigeria.
Every year, Indian Council for Cultural Relations (ICCR) offers around 20 scholarships under the “ICCR Africa Scholarship Scheme” for Nigerian nationals to pursue under-graduate, post-graduate and higher courses in Bharat.
