There was outrage in the upper chamber, after the boss of the Raw Materials Research and Development Council, listed ‘Kilishi production’ as a research breakthrough.
While speaking on Tuesday, the DG of RMRDC, Professor Hussain Ibrahim, told the Senate committee on science and technology that kilishi, a locally spiced roasted meat, popular in the north, is part of the council’s research breakthrough in its 33 years existence.
According to Vanguard, the chairman of the Senate committee, Uche Ekwunife had asked the DG to tell the panel what specific raw material the agency had successfully developed in the areas of health, brewery, construction, science, and technology, or agriculture.
In his response, Professor Hussain Ibrahim said the council has discovered two varieties of Sorghum through a successful partnership with the institute of agriculture.
