The Nigerian Veterinary Medical Association (NVMA) would hold its National Congress and Annual General Meeting (AGM) in Taraba State.
Dr Tafarki Agbadu, Chairman of the Local Organizing Committee (LOC), made this known on Friday while briefing Journalists in Jalingo.
Agbadu, who said that over 700 participants were expected in the state, explained that the event would hold between October 28 and 31st.
He disclosed that the choice of Taraba to host the event by the National Executive Council (NEC) was in recognition of the state’s immense potential and critical role in the nation’s agricultural and public health landscape.
The chairman also said that Veterinary Surgeons, researchers, policymakers, livestock producers, and pharmaceutical company representatives were expected to participate in the event.
Agbadu said that the event would expose the local veterinary professionals, students, and agricultural stakeholders to have unparalleled access to national and international expertise, research findings and innovations without travelling outside the state.
