 The American University of Nigeria has signed a memorandum of understanding with the United Nations student fund UNICEF. It's for the introduction of a post-grounded course on communication for social and behavioural change, CSBS. And we have details for you in this report. At the opening ceremony for the signing of the MOU in Yula, the President's American University of Nigeria, AUN, Professor Atahiro Yusuf, says this is aimed at bridging the gap between communication for development, C4D, and human capacity in Nigeria. According to him, this is indeed the right time and opportunity to facilitate social change and find new solutions to challenges of out-of-school children, violence against children, stunting on all the benefits which can never be overemphasized. You are joining a mixed community, a community of intellectuals and challenge makers who are committed to a better society and are starting all the way and all the time to make that happen. In this community, everything to be joined is vital. Also in his opening remarks, Dean Jacob Udo Udo gave insight on the significance of the partnership between UNICEF and the University. You have to be the ones to educate the masses of people and find ways to save the episode I am violent. You have to be the young entrepreneurs, the sad politicians, the popular locals, the skilled doctors, the normal scientists, the productive business leaders, the social activists, the technological people, people and capital and responsible leaders. Meanwhile, the Chief Field Operation Officer UNICEF Nigeria Country Office, Opeo Nixon, expressed delight over the partnership. And there's a lot of learning drawn from each and every country that we work in. And in an organization that was established in 1946 with a mandate to basically support or promote the rights of children and women, there's not such a better way to do that than to work within communities, with community leaders, with every member of the society to improve on how we address issues. In the same vein, it is a dream come true for some of the newly matriculated students of the university, as explained how they finally found their way into the prestigious institution. I mean, I have heard a lot about the American University of Nigeria and the diversity, the liberal education system, the education system. I see UN as amazing, please, because they are very amazing in the academy. UNICEF therefore wrote a rights commitment to continue to partner with both public and private institutions across the different zones of the country. Hello, hope you enjoyed the news.
