“The educational institution is one-of-a-kind in Africa, known for its exemplary performance in different foreign programmes such as Cambridge, the Scholastic Aptitude Test(SAT), IELTS, TOEFL, GRE, and lots more.”

“I personally joined Erudite in January 2022. I took part in the one-month training for the American College Test (ACT) and got 35 out of 36 in ACT English. Then I joined the Cambridge October November class.”

“I was quite taken aback when I realised it was only going to be an 8-month long programme, “thinking how was that going to be possible, will I not fail this?

“However, Erudite Millennium made it happen, and I came out with 16/16 points (A*AA: 91% in biology, 89% in chemistry and 83% in physics). Then, I proceeded to sit for the SAT after one month of training and scored 1410 out of 1600.”

“I also wrote the IELTS, and I got an overall band score of 8 out of 9, with a band 9 in listening and band 8 in academic writing.”

“The experience I gathered during my stay in Erudite was also immeasurable. I got to share ideas with other students from different educational backgrounds, including people from different parts of the world(America, Qatar, Malaysia, Liberia, and so on).”

“What makes Erudite different from other institutions is the 4th Industrial Revolution (4IR) Programme, aimed at teaching students the most sought-after skills of the 21st Century, which will not only give them an edge over their peers when getting considered for foreign scholarships, but also provide a money-making opportunity for the young generation.”

“Perhaps what is most notable about Erudite is the utmost professionalism and diligence of the staff members, coupled with the determination to give excellent results in a short period of time and make unimaginable progress.”

“Imagine going from a 60% success rate in the 2022 May/June Cambridge examination to an incredible 80% success rate in the October/November series of the same year!!! This is truly what only Erudite can deliver.”

“For parents who seek both academic and social excellence for their children, Erudite Millennium Limited is the best bet. There is literally nowhere else in the entire Africa where such amazing results are delivered in such little time.

Nigeria Grants Asylum To Guinea-Bissau Opposition Candidate

Published

on

The Nigerian embassy in Guinea-Bissau has granted asylum to Fernando Dias da Costa, the country’s opposition presidential candidate, following alleged threats to his life after last week’s military coup, The Cable Reports.

The coup was announced by military officers on Wednesday, just days after Guinea-Bissau’s presidential election in which both incumbent President Umaro Embaló and his main challenger, da Costa, claimed victory before official results were released.

Nigeria condemned the takeover and urged an immediate return to constitutional order.

In a letter to the President of the Economic Community of West African States Commission, Omar Touray, dated November 30, the Foreign Affairs Minister, Yusuf Tuggar, said President Bola Tinubu had approved asylum and protection for da Costa inside the Nigerian embassy in Bissau.

“In this regard, it would be appreciated if you would kindly mandate the ECOWAS Stabilisation Support Mission in Guinea-Bissau to provide him protection and security while in the premises of the Nigerian embassy,” the letter stated.

The foreign affairs minister’s Special Assistant on Media and Communications Strategy, Alkasim Abdulkadir, confirmed the letter’s authenticity to The Cable on Monday.

He said, “The decision of the Federal Government of Nigeria to grant asylum and provide protection to Fernando Dia Da Costa falls squarely within Nigeria’s sovereign responsibility and longstanding commitment to regional peace, stability, and democratic governance.”

He added that Nigeria acted “in the broader interest of de-escalation,” saying the government had exercised its discretion “to prevent further deterioration of tensions and to promote social cohesion in Guinea-Bissau and the wider West African sub-region.”

According to Abdulkadir, the intervention aligns with ECOWAS principles and reflects Nigeria’s role as a stabilising force in West Africa.

Following the coup, ECOWAS held an emergency virtual summit of heads of state and subsequently suspended Guinea-Bissau from the regional bloc until constitutional order is restored.
