The United States Embassy in Abuja has officially reopened the American Center at the Embassy Chancery with a ceremony celebrating American excellence and creativity.
A statement released on Wednesday by the embassy said the
newly redesigned American Center features modernized spaces and enhanced
technology aimed at expanding educational, cultural, and professional
opportunities for Nigerians of all ages.
Speaking at the event, US Ambassador to Nigeria, Richard
Mills, Jr., emphasized the role of the American Center in fostering opportunity
and connection.
“We are proud to reopen the American Center as a space that
celebrates American excellence in arts and reflects the values that define our
nation. American Spaces have become trusted venues for young people seeking
opportunities to learn about the United States, improve their English, and
develop professional skills.
“They offer a welcoming environment where students,
entrepreneurs, and community leaders can connect, collaborate, and innovate.
“Through educational advising, entrepreneurship training,
and digital literacy programs, American Spaces equip Nigerians with the tools
they need to succeed in a rapidly changing global economy.
“The individuals depicted on this mural embody the values of
hard work, determination, and perseverance. These are hallmarks of American
achievement, but they are also qualities we see every day in Nigerian youth,”
Mills said.
Also speaking during the reopening ceremony, Country Public
Diplomacy Counselor, Lee McManis, stated that the revitalized space joins 29
other American Spaces across Nigeria, serving as vibrant hubs for cultural
exchanges and learning.
“We are thrilled to reopen the American Center here at the
U.S. Embassy in Abuja. This revitalized space joins 29 other American Spaces
across Nigeria, serving as vibrant hubs for celebrating U.S. leadership in
innovation and learning. Equipped with state-of-the-art technology, the center
will foster meaningful connections and provide new opportunities for
collaboration and knowledge sharing.
“American Spaces are at the heart of our commitment to
bridge building. These Spaces offer a welcoming environment where people can
access reliable information, develop new skills, and engage in open dialogue.
“By fostering connections and supporting lifelong learning,
American Spaces empower individuals and strengthen the bonds between our
nations,” McManis said.
