On the work of RECAH, the Managing Director of Rabelat, Ahmed Raji, said that RECAH would function in dual ways: training and commercial firm for the animal husbandry sector.
He added that the institute’s training arm would pay detailed attention to the study of animal husbandry and entrepreneurship, giving trainees a platform to choose, breed, care for, and sell livestock.
Raji estimated that the projected would require the sum of N2 billion and that it would be channeled into the construction of an administration block and lecture halls, hostel, and other equipment necessary to aid training and commercialisation.
