The institution’s Public Relations Officer, Mr Olufemi Atoyebi, said the agreement was announced by the Programme Coordinator of the Centre, Adesola Adeyemo, when he led his team on a visit to the Vice-Chancellor of the institution, Professor Timothy Adebayo and his deputy, Professor Muyiwa Popoola.
Adeyemo who said 18 other institutions were partnering with the Centre, highlighted other benefits of partnering with the research Centre including access to research grants offered by the United States, creation of research opportunities with global visibility and by extension, further exposure and acceptability of Ajayi Crowther University globally.
Adeyemo said, “Part of the programme covers training up to the level of Master’s degree in Bioethics. It focuses on responsible conduct of research. At the end of the training, the trainees through the programme would have become research integrity officers.
