readiness to collaborate with the University of Ilorin in the area of data-capture software development to reduce government's yearly spending on data-capture management abroad.

NIMC's Director of Research, Engr. Emmanuel Ogungbe, gave this indication last Wednesday (April 13, 2016) when he led a three-man team from the Commission to the University of Ilorin to explore areas of possible collaboration between the two institutions.

The team was received by the Vice-Chancellor, Prof. AbdulGaniyu Ambali (OON) and members of his management team.

T

he Vice-Chancellor of the University of Ilorin, Prof. AbdulGaniyu Ambali (OON), has commended his University of Ghana (UG) counterpart, Prof. Ernest Aryeetey, for cementing the existing

relationship between the two universities through the UG-Pan African Doctoral Academy (UG-PADA) programme extended to the University.

Prof. Ambali stated this last Wednesday (April 13, 2016) when he received a two-man delegation from the University of Ghana. The delegation was in Unilorin to encourage doctoral students in the University to apply for the UG-PADA programme. (Contd. on page 4 )
