List of Lectures from various Speakers
Sokoine University of Agriculture has been setting a day to remember the late Edward Moringe Sokoine not only due to fact that the University has been named after him, but largely because of his commitment to development of Tanzania focusing greatly the ordinary Tanzanians – whoa re the majority poor farmers.
“Sokoine‘s support to agriculture and rural development in general was indisputable. He pursued what he believed in with a lot of determination, zeal and great sense of patriotism. It is indeed heart warming that this University has chosen to organize the Annual Sokoine Memorial Lectures, to remind ourselves periodically, of the person, and the ideals he stood for. It is my hope that these lectures do also serve to inspire the Sokoine University of Agriculture community to strive towards greater commitment to Agricultural Development and National Development in general.”
