A beacon of possibilities

Our Story

Every global movement begins with a single moment — Ours began at a single table. In 2010, in the heart of a bustling shopping mall in Port Harcourt, Nigeria, two visionaries — Osteen and Carita — sat at a modest desk with nothing but a laptop, a phone, and an unshakable belief: that Nigerian students deserved access to the world. There were no partners, no investors, and no promises — just a powerful dream fuelled by passion, perseverance, and purpose.
They listened to students. They knocked on doors. They filled out forms by hand. And day after day, they worked tirelessly to help young people navigate the maze of international admissions, one hopeful student at a time.
What began as a tiny operation quickly evolved into a transformational force. Today, Education Plus Group stands as a beacon of possibility and global excellence, having grown from that one-table dream into a multi-national enterprise with:
But our story is not just about numbers or expansion — it’s about impact. It’s about the thousands of students whose lives have changed because someone believed in their future. It’s about the first visa approval that brought tears. It’s about the parents who trusted us, and the graduates who now lead companies, innovate solutions, and build communities around the world.
Education Plus Group was never just a company. It has always been a calling — To connect dreams to destinations. To transform access into achievement. And to prove that from humble beginnings, greatness can rise. This is our story. Still unfolding. Still driven by that same fire that lit up a shopping mall desk in Port Harcourt.
