U.S. Government has reaffirmed its commitment to supporting young Nigerian students, innovators, and change-makers who aspire to study in America.

Speaking at the 2025 EducationUSA Nigeria Fair in Abuja, U.S. Embassy Public Diplomacy Officer, Brian Neubert, said the U.S. remains proud to partner with Nigeria in empowering the next generation of leaders. The fair, themed “Empowering Futures, Discover American Excellence in Education and Innovation,” brought together 28 U.S. colleges and universities eager to connect with Nigerian students.

Neubert explained that EducationUSA offers free counselling services to guide applicants through admission and visa processes. He urged prospective students to responsibly maintain their visa status and comply with regulations while making the most of their academic experience in the U.S.

He noted that many Nigerians had excelled in American institutions and returned home to make significant contributions. “Today, we have representatives from 28 American colleges and universities who want to recruit Nigerian students to their campuses. As you consider your next steps, know that you are joining a long tradition of Nigerians making global impact,” he said.

The EducationUSA Fair provides opportunities for students, parents, and counselors to engage directly with U.S. universities, gaining information on admissions, scholarships, and financial aid.
