FOUR FUTA STUDENTS TO COMPLETE PROGRAMMES IN AMERICAN UNIVERSITY

The collaboration between the Federal University of Technology, Akure, FUTA, and the Florida Agriculture and Mechanical University (FAMU), Tallahassee, USA has translated into reality with the departure of the first set of students for the United States of America.
The students who are to complete their undergraduate programme at FAMU under the 4-1-1 programme are Oluwalowo Abiodun (Metallurgical and Materials Engineering), Ogundana Ifedayo Joseph (Electrical/Electronic Engineering) and Ebere Onyewuchi Emmanuel (Mechanical Engineering), while Fasakin Tolulope is to pursue a Master degree in Industrial Engineering.

Responding on behalf of his colleagues, Ebere Onyewuchi Emmanuel gave glory to God for counting him and others worthy to be among the first beneficiaries of the programme. He said, “I believe our going is for good and we promise God and FUTA management that we will not disappoint. 

Professor Daramola, the initiator of the collaboration said its primary aim is to develop academic and research cooperative efforts between the two institutions through which staff and students will enjoy opportunities to enhance their teaching, research and learning activities. He said it would also engender exchange programmes on short, medium and long-term basis as a means of promoting scientific and scholarly research output for the benefit of both institutions.
Present at the send forth were: Dr. Kayode Oke (HOD Mechanical Engineering), Dr. Joseph Omotoyinbo (HOD, Metallurgical and Materials Engineering), Dr. Lanre Ogunti (HOD, Electrical/Electronic Engineering) and Mr. Adeyemo of the office of the Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Academics).
