In a public lecture by Lamido Sanusi, former CBN governor, he said, “although there are no comprehensive data on the number of Nigerian students abroad, recent data have shown that there are about 71,000 Nigerian students in Ghana paying about US$1 billion annually as tuition fees and upkeep, as against the annual budget of US$751 million for all Nigerian federal universities”. This number of students reported by the former CBN governor is wide apart from the UNESCO report of 6,113 Nigerian students studying in Ghana as at 2012. Whatever the case, the point is that Ghana is a top destination for many Nigerians to further their studies.
