“I am optimistic that the books would be used to meet the expectation of effective research by both lecturers and students at UCC” he added, quoting Prof. Bonsu.

The Provost of the College of Agriculture and Natural Sciences, Prof. Moses Jojo Eghan, who received the books on behalf of the Department, described the gesture as reflective of the goodwill of the donor.
