<p dir="ltr">The question arises: Are these foreign scholarships the reason why Nigerian elites are vehemently opposing Kwankwaso? It&#8217;s worth noting that prior to the inception of the Kwankwasiyya movement in 2011, only children of the elite had the opportunity to study abroad. In 2023, the landscape has dramatically changed</p>
