Global Relocation Academy (GRA), an Ibadan-based organisation known for helping Nigerians secure fully funded and low-tuition study opportunities abroad, has announced plans to host a six-day virtual education and travel conference tagged Campaign 5000. The event, scheduled for December 1 to 6, 2025, aims to train and empower at least 5,000 students, graduates, and professionals across Nigeria and Africa on how to access affordable international education. Acting Chief Operating Officer and Programme Director of GRA, Oluwagbenga Orolu, said the initiative will be the organization’s most ambitious yet. “Campaign 5000 is designed to be the biggest virtual education movement we’ve ever organized,” he said. “Our goal is to ensure every participant leaves with clarity, confidence, and a concrete plan to gain admission into a foreign university without wasting time or money.” He explained that the conference will feature six interactive sessions covering practical topics such as identifying fully funded scholarships in the United States, applying to affordable European universities, preparing strong academic documents, and understanding visa application processes.

Orolu will also deliver the opening and closing sessions, focusing on how global education can serve as a launchpad for Nigerians seeking international careers and long-term impact. He further emphasised the importance of the event in addressing widespread misinformation about scholarship applications. “Every year, thousands of Nigerians lose opportunities for funded admissions because they apply wrongly or depend on unreliable agents. Campaign 5000 will change that narrative by offering verified, practical knowledge that improves success rates for the 2026 academic intakes,” he said. “Participation in Campaign 5000 will be free, but registration is required. Interested attendees are encouraged to follow Global RelocationAcademy on social platforms for updates and access links to the live sessions. This December, Campaign 5000 will not just be another conference,” Orolu concluded. “It will be a turning point for thousands of Nigerians who deserve a fair chance to study abroad and build global relevance.”
