Our Ongoing Projects
The Ibarapa Meje One Health Initiative aims to ensure the complete welfare of the Fulani pastoralists and their livestock in the Ibarapa Meje region of Oyo State. The expectation was that this initiative, which was based on the Zoonotic TB Road Map, would serve as proof-of-concept for the One Health initiative and pave the way for its expansion and use in other parts of Nigeria, Africa, and the rest of the world
