He also praised Mr. Eyitayo Atilade Oluade, Dean of the School of Agricultural Management and Vocational Studies, for facilitating the proposal.
Prof. Atungwu described the Kainiu Tricycle innovation as a significant technological advancement that aligns with the College’s vision of promoting green, sustainable, and efficient agricultural practices.
“This initiative reflects our commitment to innovations that enhance agricultural productivity, reduce operational costs, and strengthen the agricultural value chain — particularly in the efficient movement of inputs and outputs between farms and markets,” he said.
The Provost emphasized that such partnerships foster applied research, student training, and technology transfer, which are vital components of modern agricultural development.
In his remarks, Mr. Adeyemo, an indigene of the local community, expressed his passion for contributing to grassroots development and agricultural advancement.
He reaffirmed his commitment to working with FCAIB to promote locally made innovations that serve both farmers and rural enterprises.
