The Federal College of Agriculture, Moor Plantation, Ibadan (FCAIB) has launched a new ICT-supported language programme initiative and received five solar-powered lights to improve campus safety.
The solar lights were donated on Wednesday, February 18, 2026, by Engr. Kazeem Ojoye, Chief Executive Officer of Mutivate.com.ng and Chairman of the African Youth Enlightenment Empowerment for Self Sustainability Initiative, alongside Mr. Adesanya Kayode Mayokun, Chief Executive Officer of Wakajeje Frame Nation. The donation was facilitated by the College’s Students’ Union leadership.
Speaking at the event, the Provost of the College, Prof. Jonathan J. Atungwu, commended the Students’ Union President, Comrade Oluwafemi Arala, describing him as “my indefatigable President” and praising his proactive leadership style.
He expressed satisfaction that the Students’ Union adopted constructive engagement in addressing campus concerns. He emphasized that students remain the foundation of any higher institution and that their welfare is a top priority of the management.
Prof. Atungwu noted that the installation of the solar-powered lights would significantly improve safety on campus, especially at night. He described the initiative as one that would have a lasting positive impact on the College community.
Facilitating the donation, Comrade Arala had earlier raised concerns about inadequate lighting across the campus and subsequently reached out to the donors for intervention. He expressed appreciation for their prompt response and collaboration in supporting the College.
In his remarks, Engr. Ojoye reaffirmed his commitment to youth empowerment and institutional development. He announced plans to introduce a German language programme powered by a dedicated ICT hub to enhance digital learning and expand global opportunities for students and staff.

Engr. Ojoye also disclosed ongoing discussions on a UNESCO-supported agricultural programme targeted at institutions such as FCAIB. He said the proposed partnership would strengthen learning infrastructure, promote student safety, and provide expanded opportunities for skills acquisition and international exposure.
