The University of Calabar (UNICAL) is set to host its 137th Inaugural Lecture titled "Bridging the Gap: Market Intermediaries, Ecosystems and the Quest for Sustainable Food Security in a Changing World." The lecture will be delivered by Professor Susana Ben Ohen, a renowned Professor of Marketing and Agribusiness Management.

Scheduled for April 16, 2025, at the UNICAL International Conference Centre by 3:00 PM, the event will delve into the crucial role of market intermediaries—commonly referred to as middlemen—in achieving food security and promoting environmental sustainability in Nigeria.
