The Executive Secretary of the Tertiary Education Trust Fund, TETFund, Prof Suleiman Bogoro has been inducted into the prestigious animal science hall of fame for his achievements and contributions to the subsector. adsbygoogle || []).push({}); js"> [adrotate banner="51"] 
 
Bogoro who is a Professor of Animal Science on Tuesday  was also conferred with the highest honour of the animal science profession in Nigeria.
 
The award was conferred on him at the 10th Nigeria Institute of Animal Science/National Association of Animal Science Conference in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State. 
 
Presenting the award, the President of Nigeria Institute of Animal Science, Prof Baba Abubakar, said Bogoro has consistently supported the profession, by funding animal science conferences, activities and programmes.
 
Abubakar said in some instances, he provided grants to postgraduate students of animal science to enhance the quality of their research.
 
“His enthusiasm for a paradigm shift from a commodity-based to a knowledge-based economy has led to the inauguration of the TETFund standing committee on Research and Development to cover the various subsectors.
 
“He is  highly admired and respected in the animal science profession and beyond. This honour does not come to us as a surprise.
 
“His highly remarkable ability to identify talents has led him to assemble what we can refer to as creme de la creme of this unprecedented laudable initiative across the length and breadth of this country,” he said.
 
According to him, the eventful birth of the National Research and Development Foundation, NRDF, will indeed be Bogoro’s gift to the nation. 
 
He said the TETFund Executive Secretary has most uniquely remained focus in advocating for increased funding research and development and most especially, increased funding for agricultural research.
 
The award was received on behalf of the Executive Secretary of TETFund by Dr Mustapha Popoola, his Technical Assistant on Research and Development, while Bogoro was joined virtually to deliver his acceptance remarks.
 
Responding, the TETFund boss thanked leaders of the institute for the award, stating that the induction was coming from a profession that he is proud of.
 
He pledged to continue to play a supportive role for the institute especially at this time that the agricultural sector is underperforming because of a number of things that have not been done right.
 
Bogoro said his advocacy for the institutionalisation of research and development in the animal science subsector was to create the opportunity to inject value addition in the agric sector.
 
He said the absence of such value addition has been responsible for the poor performance of the agric sector.
 
“It pains me that some years back, the agric sector in Nigeria was contributing 41% of the GDP of the nation. It went down to 35 recently. That is unacceptable.
 
“And the livestock subsector is the worst for it. It has continued to be the most laggard of the two subsectors and I believe that we have all a responsibility to reverse this status because in more advanced economies, in the Agric sector, the livestock subsector contributes more in terms of fiscal value,” he said.
 
Earlier in a keynote address, the President of African Development Bank, AfDB, Akinwunmi Adesina, represented by Emmanuel Adesina, said the AfDB recognises the livestock subsector as important in the postcovid-19 recovery effort.
 
Adesina said that is why in 2021 and 2022, the African Development Bank plans to spend $700 million to support livestock development projects across African countries.

“However, it is with a heavy heart that I acknowledge that the outcome declared from the primaries did not reflect the true wishes of our supporters, delegates, and the overwhelming momentum we enjoyed across the country. What transpired was clearly marred by a grand conspiracy and coordinated manipulation against our collective democratic aspirations.

“Nevertheless, I urge all members and supporters of the YMK NIGERIA PROJECT to remain calm, peaceful, law-abiding, and resolute in this difficult moment. We must not allow provocation, disappointment, or frustration to derail the noble cause we have collectively built.

“I want to assure you that we have already initiated appropriate steps through constitutional, party, and legal channels to challenge these irregularities and reclaim our stolen and overwhelming victory. We remain committed to due process, justice, fairness, and the rule of law.

“This struggle is not merely about an election; it is about protecting the integrity of democracy, defending the voice of the people, and securing the future we all believe in for our nation.

“I therefore appeal to all our supporters nationwide to remain united, steadfast, vigilant, and hopeful. Do not lose faith. Do not be discouraged.

“History has consistently shown that truth and justice ultimately prevail over conspiracy and manipulation.

“Further developments and necessary directives shall be communicated to you accordingly through our official communication channels.

May God Almighty continue to bless and strengthen us all.

Yours faithfully,
