FUNAAB Renovates Township Road.

As part of its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiative in
promoting the Town and Gown relations, the University has begun
maintenance work on the Camp-Alabata Road in Abeokuta, to minimise the
hardship experienced by road users.
The maintenance work, which involves the filling of potholes and
patching of the road, is being jointly carried out by the Directorate
of Works and Services, as well as the Department of Civil Engineering,
College of Engineering, of the University.
The Dean, College of Engineering, Professor Johnson Adewumi, noted
that the decision to embark on patching of the road was taken during
an emergency meeting of Senate of the University, when the deplorable
state of the road was raised.
Professor Adewumi disclosed that the Vice-Chancellor, Professor
Olusola Oyewole, responded positively to the issue when he approved
that the
Directorate of Works and Services be mobilised to commence work with
an input from the College.
The Dean stated that following the Vice-Chancellor's directive, he
quickly mobilised his team and proceeded on a site inspection of the
road and did the cost analysis that would make the patching and
asphalting permanent.
He assured that COLENG would monitor the project closely, to ensure
that an excellent job is done, as he lauded the Pro-Chancellor,
Senator Adeseye Ogunlewe, as well as the University Management, for
encouraging Engineering students to participate in field work, to gain
more practical experience.
The Head, Department of Civil Engineering, Professor Bayo Olateju
added that speed-breakers would also be constructed, to help reduce
excessive speeding and prevent accidents on the road, when completed.
