There are many countries in the world where Nigerian citizens can study for free or for a very low fee. If you think that’s impossible, then allow me to prove you wrong.
Below, are a selection of Nine Countries that offer free tuition or at an affordable cost.
GERMANY
The number of students interested in studying in Germany just seems to keep on growing. This is largely due to the fact that most public universities in the Country allow international students (regardless of nationality) the opportunity to study for free.

Nigerian students who decides to study in Germany, at undergraduate level, would be asked to pay a small nominal university fee of around US $ 160-265 to cover administration cost.
