He stated that the university was motivated to be a World Bank Centre of Excellence through its internationalisation policy, which has greatly endeared the institution to neighbouring West African countries, like Liberia, Sierra-Leone and Gambia who have continued to send students to FUNAAB since 2008. Salako assured that the university would consolidate on previous achievements recorded through the centre by managing the equipment and funds judiciously. While lauding the Federal Government for improved funding to the university in 2018, the vice-chancellor said the university would not rest on its oars, but ensure CEADESE is sustained through adequate funding and budgetary provisions. The vice-chancellor informed the international panel of experts drawn from all over the world that the university has continued to build entrepreneurial skills of its students by promoting self-reliance and skill acquisition, in order to improve the employability of FUNAAB graduates among their peers. She assured the vice-chancellor of a robust and positive collaboration during their stay.
