Dear Professor Schettino,

I really appreciate your good efforts towards establishing a world-class University and considering me as one of the prospective collaborators/stakeholders to represent the Institution in the African continent. In response to your questions, I would say:

1. That the courses are all good, however, in order to fully attain, in a wider perspective, the felt needs in Italy, there will be the need to broaden the horizons of the programmes by, for instance, making them extend to Italy and also leaving the territorial coverage to embrace other parts of the world. This will give it an international posture, as any student could, in the time of developing his/her thesis, choose where to take as a case study. As an illustration: One can put it is it is or replace Calabria with Italy or leave the territorial coverage, in toto. 2. The courses are in line with the internationalization needs of Italian Institutions and Companies, if they are to be made to cover the whole of Italy and if they are not restricted to Calabria or Italy alone. They can reflect the Calabrian needs, Italian needs, Regional needs, like Europe, Africa, Asia, the Pacific, USA, etc. All the courses should however be made to move from the Calabrian realities to other realities – national, regional, international, as the case may be. 3. Yes. The new University by integrating the educational offers of the Universities already present in Calabria and establishing a close relationship with the institutional, entrepreneurial and professional realities, will also be able to increase the career opportunities for the younger generations, by injecting new life via innovation; new systems, like the OBOR and BRI, and other emerging holistic developmental realities.

D. PRODUCTION/COMMERCIALISATION

From its inception, IBI has been researching on natural/herbal cures to various diseases, especially Diabetes, Hypertension, Malaria and Rheumatoid Arthritis, and has produced some natural/phyto pharmaceutical remedies like, Dia-sol, Bio-relaxin, IBI-Tarazine, IBI-MoI, Hnad Sanitizers, Detergents, Disinfectants, etc. Some of these products have been presented to the NAFDAC for ulterior analysis. The NAFDAC however, gave some directives on how to prepare and package them for commercialisation, one of such directives was to package some of them in tea bags. As a response to the above instruction, we have bought, in addition to many existing equipment, a Tea- bag Producing Machine, which we now intend to install and start to use.

E. The IBI has different Schools of Research – i. Agro-biology ii. Biotechnology/Genetic Engineering iii. Digital/Computer Forensics & Accounting Forensics iv.

Each of these Schools has an equipped Laboratory/Workshop in addition to Agricultural/Botanical Farms (for Agriculture, Agbrobiology and Phytomedicine).

F. To fully actualise its objectives, the IBI established a Technological Incubation Centre (TIC), a greater part of the structures has been completed and major equipment for each of the Departments in this Centre have been acquired and are already/about to be installed in its respective Factory. The various Departments and their Factories are: a. Fashion and Design: State-of-art machineries are installed and we are now ready to start-up commercial production.

b. Water Processing: IBI also has a Water – Sachet/Bottle – Production Factory – of which the major equipment have been installed and the processing of sachet water is ready.

c. Phyto-pharmaceutical: For the production of commercial Phyto-Pharmaceuticals, IBI established an appropriate factory that is waiting for the acquisition of complete equipment to start up fully.

d. Biotechnology/Genetic Engineering/Biochemical Workshop: This is equipped to serve in both research and commercial production of Biochemicals, Disinfectants, Detergents, Organic Manure, Bio-Pesticides and Bio-Insectides, Phyto-Pharmacy and Natural African/Traditional Medicines.

e. ICT Laboratory: This is where researches, practical training and production of ICT- oriented materials, like Drones, Robots, Forensic Sciences are carried out.

f. Mechatronics Workshop: IBI imported from Fiat Motor Manufacturing Factory in Italy complete ultra-modern Mechanical and Mechatronic equipment yet to be installed because the workshop has not not been constructed.

g. IBI Natural/Phyto-Medicine Teaching Hospital: This is a second-to-non specialist/teaching Hospital in Natural and Phyto-Medicine. Here, many chronic/terminal sicknesses like Cancer, Diabetes, Hypertension, Arthritis are managed successfully in the most scientific way.

h. IBI Medical Diagnostic Services: This is a sufficiently equipped Laboratory that attends to the demands of patients due for treatment in both the allopathic and the natural/traditional medicine.
