The United States Consulate General has announced the inauguration of two new centers in Enugu State and Benin City, Edo State.
The US Consulate Public Affairs Officer, Stephen Ibelli, who made this known in a statement on Monday, noted that the new centers created was an effort to engage more Nigerian audience.
He also indicated that the two centers were representing a partnership between the US Mission, University of Nigeria and Igbinedion University.
The two universities will be hosting the new centers.
Workers at the new centers would host specific programmes to promote US higher education and highlight aspects of American culture through movie screenings, book discussion clubs, digital video conferences, speaker events and exhibitions.
He said, “We are delighted that these two new windows on America will offer even more opportunities to the youth in Enugu, Benin City, and beyond to discover the US as they prepare for their futures.
“We hope that this will be a fun and energetic programming space where our two cultures and countries can blend together, and where we will welcome youths and people from underserved communities to learn more about the United States.”
