The University of Benin has won the Grant Award instituted by the Nigeria Youth Employment Through Skills Acquisition Funds (NYETSAF) qualifying the University to be engaged as a Training Service Provider in poultry farming by the Federal Ministry of Education, working with the World Bank.
The NYETSAF is a World Bank initiative under the Innovation, Development and Effectiveness in the Acquisition of Skills (IDEAS) project.
