“The library and the board room owned by the two Faculties of Agriculture, and Renewable Natural Resources, require uninterrupted supply of power if they must truly serve their purpose. Provision of the solar inverter is therefore, the least we could do.
“I am sure with the continued support of all members of the Class of ‘89, more of projects that will solve specific problems such as the one being commissioned will be embarked upon.”
Vice-Chancellor, University of Ibadan, Professor Kayode Oyebode Adebowale, commended the alumni for the donation of the solar inverter system of which he noted would in no small measure boost the functionality of the two faculties.
He however, called on other alumnus of the university to emulate the gesture so that the University will continue to thrive and maintain high ranking.
