On October 10, 2026, Zeta Brent Education (ZBE) will host the International Education & Future Pathways Conference in Lagos, offering Nigerian parents direct access to admissions representatives from top international schools. The event, held at Radisson Blu Anchorage in Victoria Island, will connect families with institutions such as The King’s School Canterbury, Mill Hill School, and Swiss International School, among others. These schools provide academic pathways including GCSE, A-Level, IB, and university preparation programs across the UK, US, and UAE. The conference marks a decade since ZBE began facilitating placements for Nigerian students abroad, addressing evolving parental needs for firsthand institutional engagement.
The conference features three core initiatives: school visits for career guidance sessions with students and parents, a talent assessment program offering fee waivers of 10% to 70% for eligible students, and financial planning workshops with CardinalStone Trustees. Utannah Joy Dania, founder and CEO of ZBE, emphasized the event’s role in bridging access gaps, stating, “Families are making consequential academic decisions often with limited direct access to institutions. Our role is to connect them with decision-makers early.” Participating schools contribute at no cost, positioning the program as complementary to existing school counseling services. ZBE’s shift from individual advisory work to a broader convening role reflects its growing influence in Nigeria’s education sector.
Zeta Brent Education, established in 2016, has facilitated placements for over 530 students at elite institutions in the UK, US, and Canada. The firm collaborates with more than 200 global partners and holds certifications from the British Council, Boarding Schools’ Association, and ICEF. Its conference aligns with a broader trend of Nigerian families prioritizing structured, direct engagement with international education providers.

The initiative underscores ZBE’s commitment to democratizing access to global education while addressing financial and informational barriers. By bringing international schools to Lagos, the firm aims to empower families with the tools to make informed decisions about their children’s academic futures. The event also highlights the increasing complexity of educational pathways, as Nigerian households navigate a landscape where traditional methods like printed prospectuses are being replaced by personalized, in-person interactions with institutions.
