He thanked BUK for partnering with the Center for Dryland Agriculture (CDA). He said he hoped both parties would diversify the collaboration to include MSc and Ph.D. programs and hoped to have IITA resource scientists from BUK.
In his response, the Vice-Chancellor assured the visitors of the University’s readiness to support the Institute. He said the door was open for any request on resource persons or equipment for research.
“If you need any scientists from BUK or equipment for research, our door is always open,” he said.
Professor Abbas encouraged IITA to publicize their activities via BUK’s Media outlets, such as BUK Radio Station and the Official Bulletin, to expand its reach.
