Research at the Insitute is grouped into Centres of Excellence (COEs) in order to add depth and define clearly the nodes of information exchange so as to encourage cross-fertilisation of ideas. The COEs aim to develop innovative solutions to the community's most challenging issues and to facilitate cost-effective time-bound solutions. Research efforts are enhanced through creative collaborations within the Katsina community and beyond, including international collaborators. Shown below are some of the Institute's COE labs and facilities where cutting-educe researchis on-going.
