He stated that the community-centric hub would strengthen the partnership between the University and the United States, as well as prepare the next generation of leaders in Nigeria.

According to him, “The Awka Window on America will be an incubation centre for talented young persons, who will be exposed to explore and develop their natural endowments, as well as their leadership and entrepreneurial skills through programs, workshops, and practical training designed by the consulate.

“The window will help to promote mutual understanding between the US and great youths of Nigeria to access information about the United States, its government, culture, history, and opportunity to study in the United States. It will benefit the University, as well as the community, where young people shall continue to educate their minds, develop their ideas, leadership and entrepreneurial skills through various programs designed especially for them.”

On opportunities for Nigerians in the United States especially students, the United States’ Consulate Public Affairs Officer said that “the Country offers a lot of opportunities for Nigerians, who wish to live or pursue their education abroad, with information available on the US Embassy website.
