OUI Gets AMR Recognition

Oduduwa University Ipetumodu (OUI), Osun State, has become the first private university to be selected for the prestigious AMR Intervarsity Training Programme.

According to a statement by the OUI, a team of four outstanding students, led by Esther Oloyede Oyeyinka, a 400-level undergraduate student from the Department of Biological Sciences (Microbiology Unit), emerged among the top from a pool of over 460 applicants representing various tertiary institutions.

Their selection is a testament to their dedication, academic excellence, and passion for combating antimicrobial resistance (AMR).

The AMR Intervarsity Training Program, generously funded by the Foundation to Prevent Antibiotic Resistance (PAR Foundation), spans six months and is designed to equip students with the knowledge, skills, and experience to tackle AMR effectively.

Through in-depth training and mentorship, participants will gain a comprehensive understanding of AMR, develop strategies for prevention and control, and learn to advocate for policies that promote the appropriate use of antibiotics.
