Vision,Mission & Objectives
The ERMC Center was created and built whilst having in mind that, the center will eventually cater for the graduate students with specific interest in applied research and development from various Departments within the Natural Sciences.
Objectives
That means its research outcome should be to make significant contributions to development aspirations of the nation as well as contributing towards the policy outcome in Environment and Sustainable Development; which essentially means that the center just cannot be another graduate school, which research is purely for academic requirement satisfaction as is the case now. The center has to be brought to a certain professional ISO international standard to attract outside funding to achieve specific outcome.
some of ERMC’s broad objectives are to:
- Promote research activities to complement teaching and development objectives.
- Identify and commit resources and vigor to selected research areas and seek to be a National leader in a number of them.
- Develop strategic alliances with industry, commerce and the community.
- Support R & D on technology appropriate to sustainable development in agriculture;
- Encourage nationally and internationally, communication and collaboration with institutes and universities with similar interests;
- Publish occasional papers and reports related to various environmental issues;
