UNN and Howard University to collaborate in Pharmacy, Medicine, Nursing and Law


Historic black higher institution Howard University of America is to collaborate with the University of Nigeria Nsukka through faculty and student exchanges in key disciplines of pharmacy, medicine, nursing, dentistry and law.

The collaboration follows extensive discussions and meetings involving a UNN team led by Vice Chancellor Professor Bartholomew Okolo and officials of Howard University led by Provost and Chief Academic Officer Professor Wayne A.I. Fredrick.  The University of Nigeria team met with their Howard counterparts on Friday, August 16 at the Howard campus in Maryland, Washington DC, USA.

The collaborations, as solicited by the UNN Vice-Chancellor, would include staff and student exchanges, joint workshops and conferences, shared curricula and joint grant applications. Both parties are working on the memorandum of understanding covering the agreement.
