Matthias Nnadi

Each year, many Nigerian students travel abroad to study different courses such as engineering, medicine, business and accounting. This paper uses data obtained from the UK Higher Education Statistics Agency (HESA) on African students in the UK to assess the cause of the increasing number of Nigerian students, compare to other African students, studying business courses in the UK. The paper makes recommendations on how the skill contents of courses in Nigerian universities can be improved.
