Nigerian students took written exams and attended interviews for the Türkiye Diyanet Foundation’s (TDV) international scholarship program in Abuja.
Applicants from across the country gathered at the Yunus Emre Institute, where they underwent evaluations for various education programs in Türkiye.
TDV representative Mehmet Emin Uslu said the foundation conducts annual international student selection processes and noted that applications in Nigeria have doubled this year, reaching around 1,000.
Of these, 120 candidates were invited for interviews, with 20 to 30 expected to be selected following the evaluation process. Final decisions will be completed at the foundation’s headquarters in Ankara.
Uslu added that graduates go on to serve in diverse fields, including diplomacy, medicine, and engineering, and that candidates are also assessed through a visual IQ test measuring analytical skills.
