The Nigerian Ambassador to Hungary, Abasi Braimah, has pledged enhanced welfare support for Nigerian students studying at the University of Pécs, Hungary.
Braimah gave the assurance when he received the newly elected leadership of the Nigerian Students’ Union, University of Pécs, at the Nigerian Embassy in Budapest on Friday, October 30, 2026.
The delegation, accompanied by the Embassy’s home-based staff, visited to formally introduce the new executive members and explore areas of collaboration with the Embassy.
The University of Pécs, one of Hungary’s oldest higher institutions with a history spanning more than 200 years, currently has over 300 Nigerian students.
During the engagement, the student leaders highlighted challenges affecting Nigerian students and identified areas where the Embassy could intervene to improve their welfare and overall experience in Hungary.
Responding, the Ambassador assured the students of the Embassy’s commitment to supporting them and adding value to their stay in the country.
He encouraged the union leaders to freely communicate their concerns, ideas and suggestions, noting that the Embassy remained available to assist Nigerian students whenever necessary.
Braimah also commended the delegation for the visit and announced plans by the Embassy to undertake a working visit to the University of Pécs to engage further with the institution and the Nigerian student community.
