“Culture, traditions and places of interest of Nigeria” was held on-line

At the Department of Physiology, Bioethics and Biosafety, an educational event with students of curatorial groups on the “Culture, traditions and places of interest of Nigeria” was held on-line.

The meeting was opened by Professor Vadziuk S.N., the Head of the Department. He noted that such educational events at the department were held not the first time; it is a tradition to study the history of the state, native land, the past, where the students come from. This experience we learn from our parents, grandparents, mentors. Without the information of predecessors, we would never have learned the traditions, customs, culture, behaviour. As a large number of international students of curatorial groups are of Nigerian nationality, we decided to present to the students the peculiar features of culture, traditions and places of interest of Nigeria.

Information about the history, culture, architectural monuments, and famous people of Nigeria was presented by English-speaking students in English and their native language.

The teachers of the department, curators: Professor Vadziuk S.N., Assistant Professor Nakonechna S.S., Associate Professor Ratynska O.M., Assistant Professor Volotovska N.V., Associate Professor Pankiv I.B., Assistant Professor Shmata R.M., Assistant Professor Tatarchuk L.V., Assistant Professor Kashchak T.V.

The academic and teaching staff together with the students listened to an interesting presentation of the student of the group 373 Onifade Oluvaemisi Elizabeth on the “Nigeria – resources, cultural shrines”.

The information about the Olumo rock, a mountain in south-western Nigeria was very interesting.

Majaki Ovieze Favour, a student of the group 373, delivered an interesting presentation about the State of Edo and the Delta: climate and vegetation. It was exciting to learn about the crops that grow in the dry season in Nigeria: corn, okra, millet, cucumber, melon, watermelon. And also about the crops that are grown in the rainy season: cassava, peanuts, yams, potatoes, rice, millet.
