University of Nigeria, Nsukka 60th anniversary
We are excited to join MSU President Samuel Stanley in congratulating our friends at University of Nigeria, Nsukka
as they celebrate their 60th anniversary. While we wish we could celebrate with them in person, we are thrilled to continue building on the decades-long partnership between MSU and UNN. MSU and UNN worked together to establish the first land-grant institution on the continent in 1960 and both are founding members of the Alliance for African Partnership. African Studies Center | Michigan State University
has established the Nnamdi Azikiwe International African Student Fellowship, in honor of the former president of Nigeria, to support international African student travel to Africa for their research. Congratulations Lions and Lionesses on your milestone, and here’s to the next sixty years!

Youth as Catalysts for Agricultural Transformation - Borlaug Dialogue/WFP Side Event
Follow the link to watch the Youth as Catalysts for Agricultural Transformation - Borlaug Dialogue/WFP Side Event recording. This event featured a discussion about research, programmatic and advocacy efforts underway to advance SBAE in Africa, and a call for collaboration across sectors.
Sub-Saharan Africa is home to almost one billion people. By 2050, the population of the region is expected to double, and half will be under the age of 18. Known as the “youth bulge,” this sudden population explosion will exacerbate challenges around youth employment and food security unless policymakers take decisive action, today.
