Yobe State Government and Almadain College for Medical Sciences and Technology, ACMST, Khartoum, Sudan have signed a Memorandum of Understanding, MoU, for the ‘exchange of educational knowledge and experience’ between the Sudanese College and the College of Medical Sciences of the Yobe State University, YSU.
The Yobe State governor, Ibrahim Gaidam, and the Dean of Almadain College, Abdallah Albashir respectively signed the MoU on behalf of the two parties on Monday in Khartoum.
The MoU signing was witnessed on the part of the Yobe State Government by Education Commissioner, Muhammad Lamin, Head of Service Saleh Abubakar and the governor’s Chief of Staff, Muhammad Alkali, as well as by the Nigerian Ambassador to Sudan, Musa Mamman.
Under the MoU, Almadain College will provide visiting professors and lecturers for the YSU College of Medical Sciences while the Yobe State Government will provide the infrastructure and facilities that will enable faculty and staff work effectively and build mutual cooperation and synergy.
The overarching objective of the YSU-ACMST collaboration is to accomplish goals together that the two institutions could not accomplish on their own and to ‘foster and nurture young minds’ that choose to study medicine and make a career of it.
Mr Gaidam and his entourage had earlier paid a visit to the Almadain campus in Khartoum where the governor interacted with professors, lecturers and students of the institution.
