A team of faculty and staff from the Kano University of Science and Technology in Kano State, Nigeria met with members of PVAMU administration and the College of Agriculture and Human Sciences to explore possibilities of establishing an exchange graduate student program and collaborating on various research projects.
Professor Ibrahim Garba, Dr. Aisha Adbul-Ismail and Zakari Yau Ado exchanged ideas for this partnership during their visit to campus recently.
Ibrahim, vice chancellor of Kano University, said that the group is very interested in having members of their graduate student body attend PVAMU to take courses in the agricultural and human sciences and get more experience in agricultural research since both universities offer similar academic programs in those areas. Graduate students from PVAMU would increase their knowledge about agriculture and agricultural technology programs from an international perspective.
Ibrahim also expressed interest in combining expertise from both universities to work on various agricultural, engineering and other types of research projects.
Members of the delegation made several stops while at the university including the University Farm, Cooperative Agricultural Research Center, Cooperative Extension Program, School of Architecture and the Graduate School.
