Nigerian students intending to take the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) and Graduate Record Examinations (GRE) examinations to enable them study abroad might now have to explore other alternatives.

This is due to the fact that the administrators of the exam body have suspended further testing in the country due to what they have termed “security concerns’.

Both tests are very essential for the host of Nigerian students who travel out of the country to study as they are the world’s most common requirements for university and college admissions.

Official statement below:

Due to security concerns in Nigeria, GRE® and TOEFL® testing in the country has been suspended for an indefinite period. Candidates who have appointments to take the TOEFL or GRE Tests will be contacted by ETS to process a refund.
