ambitions in tertiary institutions in the diaspora.

“It has become important to manage travel budgets in the times that we are in and that is why British Airways has introduced the Student fare especially to assist Parents that desire to continue giving their children or wards quality education.” He further expressed that, “the British Airways Student fare program will be convenient as it fits into the fixed academic schedule of Universities abroad, thus making it easy for British Airways to plan bookings made by the students”.
To create awareness about the British Airways Student fare, the airline will be organising the British Airways Student Fair
at the prestigious Eko Hotel and Suites in Lagos Nigeria.
Parents and students from different secondary and tertiary intuitions will be invited to the event; where British Airways
will furnish the participants with more details about the Student fare and also seek to answer questions that may arise. The
event will also be opened to other students after they have provided valid student identification cards.
