The Federal University of Technology, Akure, Ondo State, has said it is intensifying investments in agriculture and technology-driven food production as part of efforts to address Nigeria’s growing food insecurity challenge.
The Vice-Chancellor of the university, Prof. Adenike Oladiji, disclosed this on Friday during an inspection of ongoing projects on the campus, noting that many of the initiatives were funded through the Tertiary Education Trust Fund.
She said, “We have visited the farm where we think that as a university of technology, as a university that has a long-standing school of agriculture, school of engineering, and we are known for sciences.
“As a kind of university, we must do something different to solve the problem of food insecurity in the country.”
