Earlier the Vice Chancellor, Benue State University Makurdi Prof. Joe-Tor Iorapuu who commended CEFTER for their move to take youths off the streets and as well put smiles on the faces of Farmers said, the purpose of every institution is to grow young people and BSU will not be an exception, so for us, we want to grow and established young minds within and outside the Country”
