The Federal Executive Council has approved the sum of one hundred and ninety-point-five Million Naira for the purchase of a microscope by the University of Ibadan, Oyo State.

Minister of State for Education, Emeka Nwajiuba disclosed this to State House Correspondents at the end of the weekly cabinet meeting chaired by President Muhammadu Buhari.

Nwajuiba said it had become necessary to purchase such equipment because the only one currently being used by the famous institution had become obsolete.

He noted that buying the equipment would save the Country lots of money which until now had been expended on sponsoring researchers to go abroad on account of non-availability of the equipment in the Country.
