In its ambitious drive to shine and position itself as a national reference, SODEPA is continuing its journey of fruitful alliances.

On 7 June 2022 at 11:00 am, the Amphitheatre 150 of the Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Sciences Agro-industrielles of the University of Ngaoundere hosted the signing ceremony for the partnership agreements between the livestock production partner, the University of Ngaoundere and its professional institutions (ENSAI, ESMV, IUT). The focus of this cooperation, which should enable both parties to achieve the objectives of this Framework Agreement, are:

  • The development of industrial products and by-products;
  • The monitoring of livestock activities;
  • The provision of support and supervision facilities to trainees depending on SODEPA’s intake capacity

According to the programme, the first phase of the ceremony was as follows:

   A presentation from the host university by Professor ATANGANA MVOGO, followed respectively by those of the School of Veterinary Sciences (ESMV) by Professor MAMOUDOU ABDOULMOUMIMI; of the University Institute of Technology (IUT) by Professor MOHAMMADOU BOUBA ADJI, and that of the National School of Agro-Industrial Sciences by Professor NSO Emmanuel JONG. The Head of the Partnership and Supervision Unit, Dr NGAH OSOE Freddy, brought the curtains down on the presentations with a spotlight on SODEPA
