The Nnamdi Azikiwe University (UNIZIK) in Awka the Anambra State capital, have embarked on the production of paints with its refurbished Faculty of Physical Science.
The first set of paints manufactured by the faculty was unveiled last week, to the delight of the staff and students.
The Vice-Chancellor (VC), Prof Joseph Ahaneku, said the institution went into paint production to enable students practice what they learn and to promote entrepreneurship.
According to him, the paints were being used in the ongoing renovation of the Faculty of Management Sciences. He added that the institution would soon go into commercial production of paints to boost quality and availability.
In addition to being a citadel of learning, Ahaneku said universities should be seen as problem-solving institutions. Universities, he said, must identify the needs of the society and make efforts to provide solution by harnessing human and material resources.
