“This is the first time students from Sub-Saharan Africa would be participating in such an event,’’ it said.

It said that Prof. Musibau Bamikole, the Director of Research and Development of UNIBEN, presented the students to the university’s Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Lilian Salami, and other members of the school management.
