He also expressed the hope that acquisition of English language lesson by participants would bridge immigration formalities between the two countries

“Africa is one blood, why should there be borders,” he said.

In her remarks, the Director of the Unilorin Linguistic Immersion Centre, Dr Elizabeth De-Campus, said the foreign participants came to acquire deeper knowledge of the English language in the university.

He said that the participants were members of staff of the University of Abumechalabi, Republic of Benin.
