【Nigeria】Overseas Student Athlete Project
A test session was held at a Japanese high school called OSAP (Oversea Student Athlete Project) to select study abroad candidates for a three-year scholarship. Sending students who excel in sports abilities are required by Japanese high schools to study abroad, which promotes sports exchanges and cross-cultural exchanges and helps strengthen grassroots-level ties between the two countries.
As the number of students decreases due to the declining birthrate, a private high school is trying to find a feature in sports through international exchange companies, which conducts business activities at the grassroots level in the Federal Republic of Nigeria, that united to create Nigerian youth with excellent physical ability.
