The Senator asked SUCs to converge with other agencies of government to aid with research and development to agencies that need such and, vice versa, to access programs of agencies that SUCs need. The SUCs are considered as valuable institutions in providing quality tertiary education and in building capacities of communities, especially through research and development.
