members of the faculty and university community to make judicious use
of the natural endowment around the university, e.g fertile land,
water etc.

the country said efforts should be made at producing graduates who
will serve as entrepreneur in the agricultural industry hence reducing
the rate of unemployment in the society. Air Vice Marshal Koinyan
