Hello there,

Representatives of the US Consulate, led by the Information Officer for the US Mission in Nigeria, Deb Maclean today paid a courtesy visit to Concert Radio, affirming its rising status as Nigeria's No 1 online radio.

Other issues of interest included American education, culture exchange, and political awareness.
