About Alumni Association

It was a great pleasure to us that the people of Nigeria showed great concern after hearing about the earthquakes and Tsunami that befell Japan.

The people of Nigeria were sober and lots of condolence messages and visits were showered to Embassy of Japan and Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) Nigeria Office.

As part of the support to the victims of this natural disaster, JICA Alumni association of Nigeria visited JICA Nigeria office and made a donation to support humanity.

JICA is cooperating with many countries; it has technical training programs for government officials in all areas of human endeavor. A lot of Nigerian Government officials who are still in service have been sent to Japan on long and short term training.

In furtherance to sustaining and imparting the knowledge gained from their training in Japan, JICA Nigeria Office introduced the Follow-up cooperation scheme for Ex-participants. The scheme is assistance to Ex-participants who are willing to utilize and transfer their knowledge and experience in Japan to their colleagues or the society at large. It covers the following areas; Training workshop, Research and study, Publishing text books, Collection of latest information, Procurement of equipment, etc. Eligible applicant must be an Ex-participant of JICA training course, be less than five years of post training and must still be in the public sector. Application is received anytime of the year but screening is done twice a year. Eligible Ex-participants are advised to send in their application(s).

Lastly, I would like to appeal to all Nigerians who have participated in JICA training courses in Japan to join the Alumni Association.

If you are ex-participants of JICA, it is compulsory to join the association, please contact JICA Nigeria Office, Abuja or JICA Alumni Association P.O. Box 12937, Wuse-Abuja.
