Somalia Sends Students to Zimbabwe for Postgraduate Studies

GOOBJOOG NEWS | MOGADISHU: Four Somali students have departed to Zimbabwe for postgraduate studies in Plant Mutation at the University of Zimbabwe.

The four were selected following a highly competitive program and were awarded an education scholarship by the Federal Government of Somalia’s Ministry of Agriculture and Irrigation.
