The French Institute in Nigeria (in French: Institut français du Nigéria) (IFN) is part of the worldwide organisation of Instituts français (French Institutes). The Abuja institute is the only in the country.[2]
The primary goal of the institute is to provide French lessons, courses and examinations for children, students and professionals alike.[3]
This institute counts over 2000 students every year, from various backgrounds. The IFN is also accredited to deliver international language certifications like: DELF, DALF, TCF, DELF Prim, DELF Junior and the TCF Québec.[4]
The institute's cultural center participates in the local and national art scene, by organising hundreds of cultural events every year, on a local, regional or national basis. It also participates to external events, within the promotion of friendly ties between France and other francophone countries and Nigeria.[5] In addition to these events, the center offers regular classes in: piano, guitar, singing, dance and theatre and visual arts lessons.
The IFN shelters a media hub and a library with over 1000 francophone documents accessible to the wider audience, as well as an online ‘culturethèque’ (online cultural library) proposing an additional couple of thousands of documents.[6]
