Egypt and Nigeria enjoy a deep cultural affinity that brought the two countries together since Nigeria's independence. Currently there are hundreds of Nigerian students enrolled in Faculties of Medicine and in many Egyptian universities, in addition to 47 Nigerian students capitalizing on scholarships offered by the Egyptian government, as well as training in the fields of mass media, and agriculture.
