The US Government has expressed its continued commitment to supporting young Nigerian students, innovators, and change-makers who are willing to study in America.
U.S. Embassy Public Diplomacy Officer, Brian Neubert, stated this at the 2025 Education U.S. Nigeria Fair, with the theme “Empowering Futures, Discover American Excellence in Education and Innovation,” on Monday in Abuja.
The News Agency of Nigeria reports that the event is a series of educational fairs held yearly in various countries to connect prospective students with U.S. higher education institutions.
The fairs provide opportunity for students, parents, and counsellors to meet with representatives from various U.S. colleges and universities, get information on admission requirements, academic programmes, financial aid, and scholarships.
“The United States is proud to partner with Nigeria in empowering students, who are the next generation of leaders, innovators, and change-makers.
“Today, we have representatives from 28 American colleges and universities who want to meet you.
“EducationUSA brought them here because they want to recruit Nigerian students to their campuses,” he said.
Neubert explained that the EducationUSA team offers free counselling services to help prospective students navigate the application process.
He counselled the students to “responsibly maintain” their student visa status if they eventually succeeded in getting their student visa.
