Edo State Governor Godwin Obaseki has hailed Edo University at Iyamho for leading in technological development in the country.
He spoke at the institution’s third public lecture delivered by President of Federation of African Engineering Organisations, Mr. Martin Manuhwa.

Manuhwa, in his paper, emphasised the challenges facing engineering in Africa and the role of engineering and technology in achieving Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
According to him, for Africa to achieve its SDGs target, it must emphasise human capital development, engineering institutional capacity building and international cooperation.
