Canada has invested $2.9 million in a Nigerian research project for the ‘Sustainable Production and Utilisation of Under-utilised Nigerian Vegetables’, which will enhance food security.
The study, which is currently being carried out by the Osun State University, Osogbo, was only announced after a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was signed by all parties.
It is jointly funded by the International Development Research Centre (IDRC) and Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA) under the Canadian International Food Security Research Fund (CIFSRF), and will see the University of Manitoba and Cape Breton University, both from Canada, also participate in the project.
