One annual event of the Public Affairs Section (PAS) of the U.S. Embassy I find quite interesting is the College and Career fair. Organized by the Education Advising Center of PAS, they are usually held simultaneously in Abuja and Lagos and attract many young people, their parents and guardians. One noticeable thing about the program is it reveals the high premium Nigerians attach to good quality education. For most parents, it doesn’t matter how far or what the sacrifices may be. Meanwhile, American colleges remain the preferred destination for international students and it’s not surprising. Among the most reliable university and college ranking organizations, American universities consistently top the best 100 list and dominate the top ten.
