We should be training graduates who should be going straight into production, with credit support from their alma-mata, produce chicken, eggs, goats, milk, set up meat laboratories, bake bread and above all produce and sell large quantities of high-quality hybrid seeds” he said

This directive must be taken into action before the next academic session to ensure our students are equipped for self employment, through agriculture when they graduate from the university he added
