00I graduated in 2001 in Agricultural Economics from the 00, Nigeria.I became interested in EU sugar market/industry the year I graduated with an insight from one of my undergraduate courses in Agricultural marketing and International trade. This year coincides with the last review of the European Union sugar regime ( EU’s common market organization for sugar) and was subsequently rolled over for another five year which00 00ended00 00in00 0030 June 20006.02br

00My interest was further accentuated by similar and more comprehensive courses at the postgraduate level from 2003 through 2005.During my studies, I had various experiences in field survey, questionnaire administration, data coding and analysis of results.02br
02br
02br
02br
00I have hands on experience in research assistance ship. As a budding resaearcher, I have been involved in a number of research works at various levels. Among them includes those in the table below02br

00Following from this, I have a good working knowledge of mathematical softarwes.I independently carried out both my undergraduate and post graduate research project work. I have a very good background in economic theory and sound research methods techniques.02br
02br
00In sum, my over four years of research assistance ship in a university environment have prepared me to undertake adequate research work independently and this perhaps would be invaluable for the programme under discussion. I have no doubt in my mind that I have the necessary skills, knowledge and competence to pursue a PhD programme with your institution.02br

00Thanks for your anticipated consideration of my application. I look forward to hearing from you soon02br
