“At the tertiary level, science should not be ignored; it must be made the centre stage in our education if the country wants to grow.
“Science education is the organised study of everything that can be examined, tested and verified.
“This is why we have come to donate these books to encourage students to develop interest in science and technology; young people love to try new things and also like to practice. This is what science is all about”.
The Deputy Rector, Administration, Mrs Titilayo Ukabam, while receiving members of the club, expressed joy for the kind gesture.
“We are happy to receive these very important textbooks from you and we thank you immensely for finding us worthy of contributing toward the advancement of science and technology in the country.
“We will make sure that the students and lecturers utilise the books to the best of their abilities.
“We believe this will go a long way in growing students interest in science and technology,’’ Ukabam said.
The News Agency of Nigeria reports that the donation falls under one of the Rotary International Areas of focus; which is Basic Education and Literacy.
