The Federal Government has commenced the disbursement of approved outstanding 2025 allowances to beneficiaries of the Bilateral Education Agreement (BEA) Scholarship Programme studying in partner countries abroad.
The Federal Ministry of Education disclosed that the Central Bank of Nigeria has successfully remitted the approved funds to Nigerian Embassies and Missions for immediate disbursement to eligible scholars.
The Honourable Minister of Education, Dr. Maruf Tunji Alausa, CON, stated that the released funds represent 50 percent of the approved outstanding obligations for 2025, while efforts are ongoing to facilitate payment of the balance.
According to the Minister, the funds have already reached embassy accounts, and affected missions are expected to begin immediate payments to beneficiaries. Scholars were advised to monitor their accounts as payments begin to reflect.
Dr. Alausa noted that the development demonstrates the commitment of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, to the welfare and academic success of Nigerian students abroad under the Renewed Hope Agenda.
The Federal Government reaffirmed its commitment to fulfilling legitimate obligations to Nigerian scholars and sustaining policies that promote quality education, student welfare, and national human capital development.
