The Ambassador of the Kingdom of the Netherlands to Nigeria, Ambassador John Groffen, on has revealed that 60 Nigerians benefited from the scholarships of the Netherlands Fellowship Program  (NFP) last year. 

Groffen told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Lagos that the NFP scholarships had afforded the Nigerian beneficiaries the opportunities to study in different educational institutions in the Netherlands.

“In 2015, more than 60 Nigerians benefited from our scholarship program under the NFP, which enabled them to study in the Netherlands,” he said. The Envoy expressed satisfaction at the growing level of educational and cultural exchanges between Nigeria and the Netherlands.

Groffen said that his government was looking forward to more future cooperation with Nigeria in the area of educational exchanges. The Netherlands representative in Nigeria, also said that there were currently about 30 Dutch companies in different parts of Nigeria. He also said that “many more” Dutch companies had indicated interest in coming to invest and do business in Nigeria.

According to him, some Dutch companies are still making inquiries about the legal framework, government and central bank policies, as well as Nigeria’s overall favorable investment environment. Groffen, therefore, said that it was imperative for the Nigerian government to create the appropriate environment that would attract more foreign investments to Nigeria.
