An academic based in Canada is set to help poor students secure Nigerian passports.

Dr Olumuyiwa Igbalajobi said his passport intervention fund would see 100 students get money to pay for their Nigerian passports.

Dr Igbalajobi said the application for the passport funds opened on Sunday, December 1, 2024.

Apart from Nigeria, talented students from other African countries can also apply.

He said:

“The application for our Passport Intervention program opens tomorrow. In 2025, we are excited to support over 100 highly talented students across Africa in securing their passports—an essential document for scholarship applications and global opportunities. Over the past three years, we have supported more than 300 students, some of whom are now studying across different continents. Notably, Farida Zakariya, the first Nigerian to win the prestigious McCall MacBain Scholarship at McGill University, is one of the outstanding beneficiaries of this initiative.
