‎The Forum for Graduates of Saudi Universities in Nigeria and Neighboring Countries will begin its sessions on Monday in Abuja, under the patronage of Saudi universities.

‎The Saudi Embassy’s Press attache, Mohammed Alsahabi, confirmed the event in a statement to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN).

‎The three-day forum will unite Saudi-educated alumni from Nigeria, Chad, Cameroon, Gabon, and beyond to discuss their roles in advancing sustainable development across the region.

‎Participants will engage in dialogue sessions and presentations spotlighting alumni contributions to education, agriculture, economy, media, and humanitarian work.

‎Academic experts from Nigeria and Saudi Arabia will offer insights on leveraging higher education to drive community and national transformation.

‎Models of success will be shared, including the “Cooperative Microfinance Window” designed to support small businesses and boost economic resilience.

‎Other sessions will highlight initiatives like “Cattle Fattening Projects” for food security and rural development, as well as educational efforts in Quran memorization and teacher training.

‎These case studies reflect how Saudi-trained graduates are turning academic knowledge into practical, impactful solutions.

‎Beyond Nigeria, the forum will feature projects from Chad, Cameroon, and Gabon, emphasising Saudi Arabia’s continued commitment to human development across West and Central Africa.

‎Organisers describe the forum as a strategic platform for idea exchange, institutional collaboration, and alignment with the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals.

‎The gathering will also underscore the strength of Saudi-African ties, particularly in education, innovation, and social progress.

‎Ultimately, the event aims to highlight educational diplomacy and the transformative impact of Saudi alumni in shaping their communities’ futures. (NAN)(www.nannews.ng)
