The Australian ambassador to Nigeria, Mr. Jonathan Richardson, has expressed the readiness of his home government to partner with the Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, in the areas of agriculture and mining.
Richardson said this at the office of the Vice-Chancellor, Professor BamitaleOmole, during a one-day official visit to the institution.
A release by the Public Relations Officer of the university, Abiodun Olarewaju, stated that Richardson emphasised the importance of the Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU) to the overall success of the programme.
He noted that the 1,240 hectares of land on which the teaching and research farm sat could be put to judicious use for the implementation of mechanised farming that would furthest boost food production for the nation.
He commended the university management for having a curriculum that made it compulsory for the part four (4) students of the Faculty of Agriculture to be on the farm, thus exposing them to the beauty and gains of farming, thereby sharpening their entrepreneurial skills.
