between the town and the advancement of human kind.
According to Channels TVDuring a crucial meeting of the hallowed Senate Chambers of the
University, the Vice Chancellor of the University, Professor Isaac
Adewole, said the innovation came on the heels of series of challenges
militating against the appreciable development of the key sectors in
Nigeria.

it will provide the much needed platform to improve living standards in
a protected environment through multi-disciplinary researches into
issues affecting the people directly”.

how the common man can be major beneficiary in key areas of
Agriculture, Medicine, technology and humanities.
“This is a call to service which will be directed to provide critical
services aimed at giving the common man hope and better living
conditions nationwide,” Hon. Itsueli said.
He added that the centre, which would be funded by well-meaning
Nigerians, would work with all critical sectors like medicine,
agriculture, and technology for the benefit of human kind.

business men. They came together for the first time to establish a
