According to a statement issued by the United States Consulate General on Thursday, September, the higher education institutions participating in the fair represent the U.S. geographic diversity and offer a range of academic programs at the undergraduate, graduate, and doctoral levels.

U.S. Mission Public Diplomacy Counselor Lee McManis said: “The United States has renowned higher education programs and remains the destination of choice for international students.

“The upcoming EducationUSA college fair is a great way to explore the amazing educational opportunities that the United States has to offer.”

The College Fair will commence in Abuja on September 17 at the NAF Conference Centre and Suites.  The fair will continue in Lagos on September 18 at the Ecobank Pan African Centre, Victoria Island, and end on September 19 at Pistis Hub, Maryland.

“There is no participation fee, but registration is required,” the statement added.
