Nigerian researchers at University of Aberdeen

A team of five distinguished Nigerian academics in medicine, health and social sciences are visiting the University of Aberdeen for two weeks funded by the MacArthur Foundation. This morning they made presentations to the CSID Nigeria Research group which was followed by discussion. It is hoped that linkages will be strengthened between the University of Ahmadu Bello and University of Aberdeen following the visit. A recording of the presentations was made and individual Powerpoints will be available on request.
