The lead up to the 2014 Postgraduate fair was fraught with tensions as a bomb attack in Abuja two weeks prior caused a high level of anxiety and tensions for the British Council and institutions. However through thorough risk assessment and management both events were successful.
Feedback from visitors was positive as many were very pleased with the service and information received from the delegates; 65% of those surveyed confirming that they would be making an application to the UK this year and 23% planning to make an application in a year or two.
The response from the delegates was also mainly positive as most delegates were satisfied with the quality of the event, the timing and duration. 46.8% had developed relationships with new agents while 22% had developed new relationships with government and local institutions.
