Green Passport in the Gold Coast: Nigerian students in Ghana

Damilola is a bright Nigerian teenager who has just completed her School Cert and JAMB exams. She plans to study Mechanical Engineering, and is looking into various options with her mother. Unfortunately, just as she graduates with flying colours, Nigerian universities have once again declared a strike due to longstanding grievances against the government, while the option to study abroad is an expensive one due to the high cost of fees and the falling value of the local currency, the Naira. It is a real dilemma for parents and students.
The narrator visits Ghana to discover what awaits students on ground, visiting universities and interviewing officials, students and various individuals with experience of dealing with Nigerians in and around the academic environment. She is struck by the quality of the infrastructure to be found in Ghanaian institutions, as well as the lively and colourful culture displayed as a constant backdrop to every day life.
As the film unfolds, it is clear that despite undercurrents of regional competition and some differences of opinion over minor issues, there is a fundamental synergy between the two West African countries and therefore much to gain by the increasing cross-fertilisation of young minds.
