What the fellow says:
"Plant resources are important and crucial for health and development of any country. The main objective of the research I undertook under the UNESCO/Keizo Obuchi Fellowship programme was to study the tissue culture methods of four endangered species of medicinal plants in Nigeria. I have acquired scientific knowledge in mass propagation of some endangered Nigerian medicinal plants by means of tissue culture."
