Read the passage below carefully:

Established in 1964 in Ibadan, the Cocoa Research Institute of Nigeria (CRIN) took over the infrastructure of the West African Cocoa Research Institute's Nigerian substation. While its colonial predecessor served multiple territories across British West Africa, CRIN was restricted to a national scope under Nigeria's Federal Ministry of Agriculture. CRIN's mandate encompassed researching cocoa, cashew, coffee, kola, and tea. However, tea was not part of the institute's initial statutory research focus in 1964; it was formally included in 1974 following success in experimental plantings on the Mambilla Plateau. Funding for CRIN's operations was derived from regional marketing board export duties until 1977, when federal statutory reforms transferred budgetary responsibilities to the Federal Ministry of Science and Technology.

Based on the passage above, evaluate the statement: The Cocoa Research Institute of Nigeria was mandated to conduct research on tea from the time of its inception in 1964.

Cevap: Cevap

Cevap

The statement is False. According to the text, tea research was formally added to CRIN's mandate in 1974, not at its inception in 1964.
The correct answer is False because the passage explicitly makes a temporal distinction, clarifying that tea was not included in CRIN's statutory focus in 1964, but was added a decade later in 1974.
