The United States Consulate has announced the opening of its EducationUSA Advising Centre in Ibadan, Oyo State.
The centre would be offering a regular schedule of individual, group and online advising sessions aimed at enabling more students to pursue their dreams of studying in the United States.
The US Consulate Public Affairs Officer, Stephen Ibelli, said the centre would assist prospective undergraduate and graduate students in navigating the admissions process by providing comprehensive and accurate information about the higher education institutions in the United States.
He said, “Nigeria is home to so many talented, ambitious young people, who often ask us about studying in the United States. EducationUSA presents an opportunity for young Nigerians to obtain a world-class education in the United States and then return home to contribute to Nigeria’s economic growth and development.”
The Oyo State Commissioner for Education, Science and Technology, Sunkanmi Olaleye, expressed the readiness of the state government to partner the US Consulate to expand access to the services of the new centre.
Recall that on Tuesday, the Governor of Oyo State, Seyi Makinde, announced that his administration is ready to partner with Korea International Cooperation Agency (KOICA) on quality education service delivery in the State.
A partnership committed to digitalising the educational system in the State with a view to bringing about qualitative education and enhancing teaching and learning.
