The United States Mission in Nigeria has reaffirmed its commitment to strengthening bilateral relations through educational and professional exchange programmes, saying investments in people continue to deliver lasting benefits for both Nigeria and the United States.
The mission said Nigerian beneficiaries of US-sponsored exchange programmes had returned home with new skills, wider professional networks and a renewed commitment to promoting good governance, entrepreneurship and innovation.
The position was contained in a statement issued by the US Mission in Nigeria on Tuesday following a #Freedom250 event held to celebrate Nigerian alumni of various US exchange programmes.
According to the mission, the event formed part of activities marking the 250th anniversary of the United States’ independence, while reaffirming America’s commitment to partnerships built on mutual benefit.
