Under the governing body of the FAA here in the United States, a person must pass an FAA written examination as well as log the appropriate flight time with an instructor and pass a Practical Test.
We can teach you the necessary information for ground school, however, you will want to check the regulations that are for your area in Nigeria.
Are you asking to take the ground school course in Nigeria, but complete the flight training and examinations here in the US?
I do not see an issue with that. You can easily get started with the ground school by taking our Private Pilot Ground School & Test Prep course.
The online version of the course will get you started right away.

This online course will teach you everything from aerodynamics to weight & balance of an aircraft, and will even prepare you for the FAA written examination.
The exam fees vary at each testing facility. It depends on where you will you be taking it. Your flight training all depends on where you will be training as well.
Do you know where you will be taking your flight training?
We do not offer flight training at our facility. We specialize in the ground school training software that pilots use on their computers.
This allows flexibility with the pilot of choosing their own flight instructor.
I can give recommendations, but it all depends on where you will want to do your training.
We partner with Cessna and their Cessna Pilot Center locations. You can choose any one of your liking by visiting this website: http://cessna.txtav.com/single-engine/learn-to-fly
You will definitely want to start with the Ground School & Test Prep course. It will teach you all of the ground school and what you’ll need to know as a Private Pilot.
Upon completion of the Ground School & Test Prep course, you will receive a Completion Certificate. However, which is more important, is once you complete the 3 practice exams and score 70% or better, you will receive the Instructor Endorsement. This endorsement will allow you to take the actually FAA written exam.
You can take the FAA exam with no flight training. However, you will need an Instructor Endorsement that shows you’ve been taught the proper knowledge areas of what is required to be a Private Pilot.
