| Notes |
The Oil Palm Research Institute (OPRI) was established in 1964 as a division (Plant Breeding Oil Palm) of the Crops Research Instiute(CRI), of the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) to take over the functions of the defunct West African Institute for Oil Palm Research (WAIFOR). It was upgraded to a centre and gained autonomy from the Crops Research Institute in 1979 and became a fully fledged Institute in 1988. [ Retrieved on 14 MAR 2008 ] |
