Editorial note: This post refers to the resumption of TOEFL testing in Nigeria in January 2014 after an earlier suspension over security concerns. Test centres, dates and registration procedures may have changed since then.
In what would come as a relief to many Nigerians, the Educational Testing Service announced that TOEFL testing would resume at selected centres in Abuja, Lagos and Port Harcourt.
The first test following the resumption was scheduled for 25 January 2014, while registration for upcoming test dates was expected to open on 13 January.
TOEFL—the Test of English as a Foreign Language—is an English-language proficiency test commonly taken by people whose first language is not English.
TOEFL scores are accepted by many universities and institutions as proof of English-language proficiency. The test may also be required for admission, scholarships or certain visa applications.
The resumption of testing in Nigeria would therefore come as a relief to Nigerians seeking admission or scholarships to study abroad, particularly in countries such as the United States, Canada, Australia and the United Kingdom.
The testing body had suspended TOEFL and GRE examinations in Nigeria the previous year because of security concerns.
Candidates should visit the official TOEFL website for current test dates, available centres and registration information.
