As part of efforts at fulfilling its electoral promises upon assumption of office and to assist in providing proper guide to visitors, staff and students, the 2014/2015 executive of the Nigerian Association of Agricultural Students (NAAS) of the University, has renovated the FUNAAB Roadmap located on the University Ceremonial Road.

Explaining what spurred them into taking up the renovation, NAAS President, Adekunle Adeoye, a 300-level student in the Department of Animal Physiology, College of Animal Science and Livestock Production (COLANIM), said the roadmap was originally constructed by the 2008/2009 executive of the Association, which had since faded away. “We want to start a capital project for the Association, so we looked around on what will be of benefit to the University, then we thought of the faded roadmap, which was earlier constructed in 2009 by our predecessors”, he stated, while appreciating the Directorate of Physical Planning for its support in the re-construction work.

However, Adeoye said the project cost the sum of N47,000, which was sourced through external assistance and dues levied on members. He said upon completion, the project was appreciated by members of NAAS, as the re-construction plan was part of the proposal presented on assumption of office. He listed other projects carried out during his tenure to include the construction of 10 concrete benches on the practical site in the Directorate of University Farms (DUFARMS), publication of NAAS magazine which was distributed to students free-of-charge and the implementation of empowerment and orientation programmes for members, among others.
