His new role is expected to foster collaboration and exchange of knowledge between Nigerian and Malaysian institutions.
This appointment is significant not only for Duru but also for broader academic relations between Africa and Asia.

Looking ahead, Duru's work could pave the way for more partnerships, enhancing the global visibility of African research while inspiring future generations to engage in impactful scholarship. This appointment reflects a promising trend of increasing cross-border academic collaborations that can lead to innovative solutions in addressing global challenges.
