A UK envoy in Nigeria. Dr. Richard Montgomery, has hailed UK-Nigeria governments partnership for the recent investment in Nigeria education system, leading to the opening of a $15million Charter House Lagos School.
The school, which is located in the high Lekki, a high-brow area of Lagos State, sits on 70 hectares, (nearly 150 acres).
According to Montgomery, the school is modelled after the Charter House United Kingdom school, which has over 400 years of history, heritage and prestige.
The envoy said the school is an outcome of partnership between both governments.
He said: “Now this is all made possible by the fact that the UK government and the Nigerian government have been working and secured a deal last year.
“It sounds a bit technical, they’re called the transnational education guidelines but basically it’s a framework that enables UK investment in Nigerian education institutions with the blessings of both governments that we help facilitate from the Department of Business and Trade in the British High Commission but also the Honourable Minister for Education Dr Tunji Alausa. We work with him and his team and the Nigerian Universities Commission on those types of partnerships and we are on the verge of announcing some exciting ones in the coming months. So that’s the wider picture.
“We are very conscious that Nigeria invests in education, Nigerians invest in education, you’re very exciting customers but we genuinely feel we have a comparative advantage and we think that education is so important for the UK-Nigeria relationship because of the common language, because of some common values, because of the fact that we both have interests in each other’s countries.”
Speaking on one of the ideas behind the project, the envoy said: “And one of our concerns is that a generation of Nigerian children is going to Britain and so many of them are not coming back. By spending their time at secondary school here, our hope is that they will stay and they will make a difference. And we very much talk about this as a vote of confidence in the future of Nigeria.”
He further explained: “There are people looking for school options, and the message is that there is now an option for top UK private education in Nigeria.
