Join the Diaspora BRIDGE Program

BRIDGE (Bridging Research, Innovation, Development & Global Engagement) is an initiative of the Federal Ministry of Education (FME), in collaboration with TETFund, that connects Nigerian academics and professionals with their counterparts in the diaspora — so diaspora experts can teach, mentor, research and collaborate with Nigerian tertiary institutions, including delivering CCMAS courses online.
