On behalf of my organization, the Africa Network for Environment & Economic Justice, ANEEJ, I want to use this medium to appeal to the American government to establish an American Corner in Benin City Edo State.
Information from the website of the United States Government says that ‘American Corners are the first places to visit when you have questions about the United States.
The goal of each Corner is to provide general, substantive and accurate information about the United States to interested parties.
Materials in the American Corners cover a wide range of subjects pertaining to the United States, such as its policies, society, education and culture. Free, open access is provided to all materials.
Other Nigerian cities like Calabar, Jos, Ibadan, Lagos, Bauchi, Abuja, Maiduguri, Enugu, Sokoto and Port Harcourt enjoy the services and information that Nigerians need to be able to know more about the United States of America. Why are Edo and Delta States left out?
It would interest you to know that Edo and Delta peoples are the most widely travelled of any of the peoples of Nigeria.
The states have very good universities, and have a teeming population of young people who are keen on the kind of information, educational advice that could expand the kind of partnership that could help our peoples develop a mutually beneficial relationship.
Edo and Delta States have an atmosphere of peace and friendship, coupled with the historical and cultural positions that both states enjoy in Nigeria.
