Umar Education Group (UEG), a UK-based study-abroad consultancy, is empowering Nigerian students by offering opportunities to pursue education in top-ranked universities across the United Kingdom, Canada, the United States, and Australia. With a mission to democratize global education, UEG is providing free consultations for students interested in studying abroad, aiming to transform their educational futures.
In a bid to make international education accessible to more students, UEG is offering complimentary consultation services for institutions in the UK, Canada, U.S., and Australia. This initiative aims to break down barriers to global education by offering comprehensive support throughout the entire process—from application guidance to visa processing—ensuring seamless access to world-class universities.
“By eliminating upfront costs for initial consultations, we are making it easier for prospective students to explore academic opportunities, plan financially, and understand career pathways in their desired study destinations,” said the group in a statement. Students can now book free sessions with certified advisors through UEG’s website, providing a gateway to explore diverse educational opportunities abroad.
Recognizing the challenges faced by Nigerian students, such as complex visa processes, financial constraints, and cultural adjustments, UEG emphasized Nigeria’s importance in the global education landscape. The group highlighted that despite these challenges, Nigerian students remain committed to pursuing higher education abroad. According to UK Home Office data, over 71,000 Nigerians are expected to relocate to the UK for education in 2024, with student applications to global universities rising by 78% since 2020 (UCAS).
Founder of UEG, Belal Umar, spoke about the growing aspirations of Nigerian youth, stating during a recent forum, “The average Nigerian youth is not just leaving; they’re leading. At UEG, we want to ensure every Nigerian student can access global education without barriers, turning their ambitions into legacies that uplift communities back home.”
To further support Nigerian students, UEG is offering free consultations, with the first 100 registrants receiving personalized visa preparation sessions. This initiative underscores UEG’s commitment to making global education accessible to all students, regardless of their financial background.
Through this effort, UEG is working to bridge the gap between Nigerian students and their dreams of studying at prestigious universities abroad, offering a clear path to academic and professional success.
