Prof. Abdulrasheed Na’Allah, Vice-Chancellor of the university made this known during the institution’s third convocation ceremony.
He said the project, which is a research sponsored by the Centre for Community Development, taught residents of Ogbondoroko community in the Asa Local Government Area of Kwara different ways of applying corn silk to manage kidney disorders, as well as how to commercialise the product by packaging it into teabags.
He said the programme also featured free medical check-ups for members of the community, adding that the institution had also embarked on research for the control of malaria.
