Yobe state government and Almadain College for Medical Sciences and Technology (ACMST) Khartoum, Sudan, have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) for the “exchange of educational knowledge and experience” between the Sudanese College and the College of Medical Sciences of the Yobe State University (YSU).
Governor Ibrahim Gaidam and the Dean of Almadain College, Dr Abdallah Hassan Ahmed Albashir, respectively, signed the MoU on behalf of the two parties yesterday in Khartoum.
The MoU signing was witnessed on the part of the Yobe state government by the Commissioner for Education, Muhammad Lamin, Head of Service, Alhaji Saleh Abubakar, and the governor’s Chief of Staff, Muhammad Nur Alkali, as well as the Nigerian Ambassador to Sudan, Mr. Musa Saban Mamman.
Our correspondent gathered that under the MoU, Almadain College “will provide visiting professors and lecturers for the YSU College of Medical Sciences, while the Yobe state government will provide the infrastructure and facilities that will enable faculty and staff work effectively and build mutual cooperation and synergy.”
It was also gathered that the “overarching objective of the YSU-ACMST collaboration is to accomplish goals together that the two institutions could not accomplish on their own and to foster and nurture young minds that choose to study medicine and make a career of it.”
Governor Gaidam and his entourage had earlier paid a visit to the Almadain campus in Khartoum where he interacted with professors, lecturers and students.
