The main purpose of the visit is to expand our knowledge about UN's programs, as it relates to culture and the preservation of indigenous languages across the globe. The briefing session was attended by three Organizing Committee Members of Edo Language Day Worldwide: Lady Aghabiomon Ogbeiwi, Dr. Harris Enabulele and I (Nekpen Obasogie).
