Makerere University College of Agricultural Sciences and Environment Sciences on Tuesday entered into a partnership with National Agricultural Advisory Services (NAADS). The meeting that was held at Serene Suites, Mutundwe, Kampala, was presided over the commander of Operation Wealth Creation, General Caleb Akandwanaho aka Salim Saleh.
General Saleh noted that he wants agriculture in the country to be knowledge-led by Makerere University. “I am the happiest general on earth now because of this relationship. All institutions involved in Agriculture will be linked,” Gen. Saleh who is responsible for Uganda’s latest agricultural revolution that has resulted into production surplus told the meeting held at Serene Suites in Mutundwe, a Kampala suburb. The visibly excited General added, “this is the best thing that has happened to Agriculture in Uganda in a very long time.”
Under the arrangement, both groups are supposed to share knowledge and skills which will in turn be used to address the challenges affecting agriculture in the country focusing on reduction of post- harvest losses for grains and markets.
