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.
