Isa added that the university had trained 1,000 women and youths on processing of tree fruits.

The vice-chancellor said that the University’s centre for renewable energy was one of the leading centres in the area of competency certification of solar energy in the country.

“We are also leading in solar photo voltaic installation supervision under the Nigerian Energy Support Programme (NESP),’’ Isa said disclosing that the Federal Ministry of Agriculture was constructing an Agribusiness Incubation Centre in the university with the provision of tomato processing lines for paste and juice, and training facilities.

1,397 graduating students were presented with degrees, out of which, 107 were post-graduates.

Nine students graduated with First Class degrees; 300, Second Class Upper; 639 had Second Class Lower; 316 Third Class and 26 had pass degrees.
