A team of Thailand and Vietnamese scientists on the European Union GRATITUDE Project visited the Federal University of Agriculture Abeokuta (FUNAAB) to collaborate on research.
Welcoming the visitors, the Vice-Chancellor, Prof Olusola Oyewole, said the essence of research is to impact knowledge, urging them to make the best out of their research efforts.
He noted that the collaboration between FUNAAB and the GRATITUDE team was yielding results and pledged his support for any exchange arising from the collaboration between FUNAAB and universities in Thailand and Vietnam.
Oyewole assured the scientists of their safety as they went round visiting some industries, farms and villages in Nigeria.
The GRATITUDE Research Fund is established under the EU-Sponsored ‘Project on Gains and Losses from Cassava and Yam’, with partners from the United Kingdom, The Netherlands, Portugal, Thailand, Vietnam, Ghana and Nigeria.
