US Consulate Unveils Centres In Edo And Enugu

The United States Consulate General has said it inaugurated two
new centres in Enugu and Benin City, the Edo State capital.

The effort, it noted, was aimed at engaging more Nigerian
audience.

There are 13 American centres in Southern Nigeria.

A statement on Monday by the US Consulate Public Affairs
Officer, Stephen Ibelli, indicated that the two centres would be
hosted by the University of Nigeria, Enugu campus, and the Glass
House, Airport Road, Benin City.

Ibelli pointed out that workers at the new centres 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.

Ibelli stated that the Enugu and Benin windows on America were
representing a partnership between the US Mission, the University
of Nigeria and the Igbinedion University.

“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,” Ibelli noted.

The Vice-Chancellor, University of Nigeria, Prof. Charles Igwe,
commended the US Mission for the partnership.

Also, the Vice-Chancellor of the Igbinedion University, Prof.
Lawrence Ikechukwu-Ezemonye, expressed optimism that the initiative
would encourage cross-cultural collaboration between young
Nigerians and their counterparts in the US.
