Students Raise Broilers to Kill Boredom During Strike.

In a bid to develop their entrepreneurial skills and to make an impact
in the agricultural sector of the nation, students of the University
have engaged in the rearing of poultry birds for commercial purposes.
Operating under the auspices of the Nigeria Animal Science Students
Association (NASA), FUNAAB Chapter, Messrs Adesina Oluwatobi John of
the Department of Animal Physiology and Azeez Fatai Adeniyi of the
Department of Animal Production and Health, College of Animal Science
and Livestock Production (COLANIM), disclosed that they embarked on
the exercise to keep themselves busy following the protracted strike
by the Academic Staff Union of Universities, as well as to generate
income for themselves.
Oluwatobi said they made use of the NASA farm structure at COLANIM to
raise the birds, mainly broilers, from day old to maturity from their
personal savings and the assistance they got from some agro-allied
industries.
They expressed appreciation to the University for the opportunity and
the enabling environment in realising their desire.
