The Minister of Education, Dr Tunji Alausa, said the decision was part of a broader review of the government's foreign scholarship and bilateral education arrangements aimed at eliminating unnecessary expenditure and redirecting resources towards strengthening Nigerian universities, polytechnics and colleges of education.
