The minister pointed out that it was imperative for the ministry to engage the institute to deliberate on the nature of strategic partnership and level of collaboration.
The Managing Director of Rabelat, Dr Ahmed Raji, said RECAH could hold training and operate as a commercial firm for the animal husbandry subsector.
He said the training arm would focus on the basic studies in animal husbandry and entrepreneurship and provide the platform for trainees to select, breed, care for, process and market livestock and small animals.
He put the cost of the project at N2bn, saying the amount would be spent on the construction of administration block and lecture halls, hostel, purchase of teaching aids and construction of other facilities.
