The Funeral Service, held today, August 21, 2026, at the Christ Apostolic Church (Mount of Blessing), Oke-Ibukun, Isabo DCC Headquarters, Essien Region, Abeokuta, brought together family members, members of the FUNAAB community, colleagues, church members and well-wishers who gathered to honour the deceased and celebrate her life and legacy.

Delivering the sermon, the officiating minister, Pastor Peter Idowu, urged Christians to live with eternity in view, stressing the need to prepare for the day of judgment and remain steadfast in their faith in Jesus Christ.

Pastor Idowu noted that Jesus Christ came into the world to redeem humanity and demonstrate the path of righteous living, urging believers to reflect their faith not only through their words but also through their actions and daily conduct.

He cautioned Christians against deceiving themselves or attempting to deceive God, noting that God knows the true condition of every individual’s heart.

The cleric described the late Deaconess Osinuga as a true believer in Christ who lived a life of faith and devotion to God. He expressed confidence that she had completed her earthly journey and gone to rest in the bosom of the Almighty God, urging the bereaved family and loved ones to draw comfort from the assurance of her eternal rest.

Bursar’s Late Wife, Deaconess Victoria Osinuga, Honoured at Service of Songs

As Cleric Urges Christians to Live Purposeful Lives, Prepare for Eterniy

Olasunkanmi Olajide & Raymond Osemene

The late Deaconess Victoria Osinuga, wife of the Bursar of the Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta (FUNAAB), . Olukayode Osinuga, was honoured at a Service of Songs, as the District Superintendent of Christ Apostolic Church (CAC), Isabo, Pastor David Okusanya, urged Christians to live purposeful, God-centred lives and remain conscious of the brevity and uncertainty of life.

Pastor Okusanya gave the charge at the deceased’s residence in Kemta Housing Estate, Abeokuta, today, August 20, 2026, during the Service of Songs held in her honour. He drew inspiration from the teachings of Jesus Christ in Luke Chapter 12 and James 4:13–14.

He cautioned Christians against pride, anxiety and excessive attachment to worldly possessions, stressing that no one has control over when life would end. According to him, the biblical account of the rich fool illustrates the danger of making elaborate plans for the future without acknowledging God.

The cleric noted that the rich man was preoccupied with his wealth and plans, forgetting that he had no control over his life. He therefore urged believers not to live as though they own their lives or have absolute control over tomorrow.

Using the imagery of a fragile object that could suddenly break beyond repair, Pastor Okusanya likened human life to something that could come to an unexpected end. Referring to James 4:13–14, he described life as a vapour that appears briefly before disappearing. He encouraged Christians to make the most of every opportunity by settling disputes, reconciling with others, helping those in need and putting their affairs in order while they still have the opportunity.

Describing the late Deaconess Osinuga as an example of a Christian who lived with a consciousness of eternity, Pastor Okusanya noted that despite her declining strength, she remained committed to prayer meetings and continued to serve God faithfully until her passing.

He particularly commended her sense of responsibility and

Routine Observance: FUNAAB Commences Massive Sales of Newly Harvested Yam Tubers, Other Farm Produce

… As Height of Yam Pyramid Signals Bumper Harvest

By Olasunkanmi Olajide & Raymond Osemene

From the farm to the marketplace, FUNAAB’s agricultural ingenuity has once again taken centre stage, with a towering pyramid of freshly harvested yam tubers heralding the commencement of the massive farm produce sale at the University. The impressive display, which has become a routine feature, highlights the growing impact of the University’s research, innovation and agricultural production efforts.

The Directorate of University Farms (DUFARMS), which has been initiating the planting and harvesting, today, August 20, 2026, commenced the sales of fresh yam tubers and other farm produce at the DUFARMS AGROMAT.

The sales were officially flagged off as part of the Directorate’s efforts to translate the University’s agricultural research and innovations into practical, marketable products, while making quality farm produce available to the University Community and the public at highly discounted rates.

Speaking at the flag-off ceremony, the Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Babatunde Kehinde, represented by the Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Development), Prof. Olawale Dairo, expressed delight at the development, describing it as a significant outcome of the University’s research efforts.

Prof. Kehinde noted that the produce represented a major research achievement, particularly in view of the resources and expertise invested in the planting and harvesting processes. He commended DUFARMS for its efforts and appreciated the University Management for its continued support for research, innovation and the translation of research outcomes into practical solutions.

Earlier, the Ag. Director, DUFARMS, Dr. Emmanuel Bankole, expressed appreciation to the University Management for its continued support, stressing that the achievements recorded by the Directorate would not have been possible without such backing.

Dr. Bankole highlighted the successful application of the minisett technology in producing yam planting materials, explaining that the innovation had enabled the University to produce its own planting materials instead of procuring them externally.

According to him, the planting materials produced during the year had an estimated market value of about ₦4 million, representing significant savings for the University through internal production.

The Ag. Director, a former Chairman of the Ogun State Branch of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), described the achievement as an important milestone for DUFARMS, adding that the Directorate was working towards further perfecting the technology and making its yam planting materials available to other institutions and organisations interested in yam conservation and production.

Meanwhile, other farm produce on display were eggs, frozen chicken, plantain, banana, vegetables and elubọ iṣu, among others. Present at the flag-off ceremony were the Dean, College of Agricultural Management and Rural Development (COLAMRUD), Prof. Emmanuel Fakoya; the Senior Deputy Registrar, Vice-Chancellor’s Office, Mr. Moses Ayanda, including several members of the University Community who had come to purchase one farm produce or the other.

ISAE Commences Two-Day Hybrid Africa Regional Conference at FUNAAB

By Raymond Osemene

The International Society for Applied Ethology (ISAE) has commenced its Two-Day Hybrid Africa Regional Conference at the Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta (FUNAAB), with a call for greater integration of animal behaviour and welfare science into Africa’s agricultural development.

The conference, themed “Behaviour to Welfare: Driving Innovative and Inclusive Animal Ethology in Africa,” began today, August 18, 2026, at the College of Veterinary Medicine (COLVET) Auditorium, bringing together researchers, Academics, policymakers, industry stakeholders, Animal Scientists and students from Africa and beyond, both physically and virtually.

The conference provided a platform for participants to examine emerging issues in animal behaviour, welfare and applied ethology, with a focus on improving animal management practices and promoting sustainable animal production across the continent.

In his Opening Remarks, the Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Babatunde Kehinde, represented by the Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Development), Prof. Olawale Dairo, described the hosting of the conference as an honour for FUNAAB. Prof. Kehinde said the theme was timely, noting that advancements in animal behaviour and welfare science were critical to addressing Africa’s agricultural and food-security challenges.

The Vice-Chancellor stressed that Africa must strengthen its food systems, expand its livestock and agricultural sectors, and respond effectively to the growing demand for animal-source foods, adding that animal behaviour and welfare science remained central to achieving sustainable, humane and productive agricultural development.

According to him, the subject aligned closely with FUNAAB’s mandate and its motto, “Knowledge for Development,” stressing that applied ethology was not merely an academic discipline but a science with direct implications for how animals are bred, housed, transported, managed and cared for.

Prof. Kehinde noted that improved understanding of animal behaviour and welfare would contribute significantly to the sustainability of farming systems, livelihoods, economies and food security across Africa. He commended the ISAE Nigeria Local Organising Committee, the ISAE National Secretariat for Africa, and the entire organising committee for their vision, commitment, and diligence in bringing the conference to Abeokuta.

He urged participants to use the conference to forge new collaborations across institutions and national borders, noting that modern technology had made it possible for scholars from different parts of the world to overcome geographical barriers and share knowledge seamlessly.

Welcoming delegates, the Regional Secretary, Africa and West Asia, Dr. Oluwaseun Ojelade, expressed delight at the participation of researchers, !Academics, students and other stakeholders from different parts of Africa and beyond.

Dr. Ojelade said Africa’s growing animal production sector required approaches that placed animal welfare at the centre of development, while remaining scientifically sound, practical, inclusive and responsive to the continent’s realities. “As Africa continues to develop its animal production systems, research, policies and practices, we must ensure that the welfare of animals remains an integral part of this progress,” she stated.

She commended participants for attending the conference and urged them to actively engage in the sessions, share experiences, ask questions and explore opportunities for collaboration. The Regional Secretary challenged participants to look beyond discussions and consider practical actions they could take in their institutions, farms, laboratories, communities and policy spaces to advance animal welfare.

Meanwhile, the conference continues tomorrow with scientific presentations, keynote contributions, panel discussions and special sessions designed to promote knowledge exchange, challenge existing perspectives and foster meaningful collaborations among stakeholders in animal ethology and welfare.

By Femi Dansu

The 2026 Staff Unity Games of the Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta (FUNAAB), have continued to generate excitement across the University Community, with the commencement of the Indoor Games providing more opportunities for staff to interact, relax and strengthen camaraderie.

The Indoor Games, which commenced on August 13, 2026, had staff actively participating in Chess, Badminton, Tennis, Squash, Volleyball, Ayo Ọlọpọn, Draughts, and Ludo.

Speaking during the Games, the Director, Directorate of Sports and Wellness Centre, Dr. Samuel Olabanji. expressed delight at the impressive turnout, noting that the Chess venue was filled with staff and spectators, while the areas hosting Ayo Ọlọpọn, Draughts and Ludo also attracted considerable attention.

He attributed the enthusiasm to the opportunity the Games provide staff to temporarily step away from their routine academic and administrative responsibilities, relax and interact freely with colleagues.

The Director, therefore, commended the Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Babatunde Kehinde, for providing a platform for staff to interact in a serene and comfortable environment, saying the Games had created moments of happiness and laughter while helping to ease workplace pressures.

He stressed that the Staff Unity Games were designed not merely as a competition, but as an avenue for recreation, social interaction, wellness and unity. According to him, the Games help bridge hierarchical and administrative barriers, allowing senior and junior staff to interact freely as colleagues and friends.

Dr. Olabanji added that the active participation of Professors and other senior staff alongside their colleagues demonstrated the unifying power of sports and the importance of fostering a stronger sense of community within the University.

Meanwhile, Football action continued with the quarter-finals producing exciting encounters. The College of Physical Sciences (COLPHYS) defeated the College of Veterinary Medicine (COLVET) 2–1, while the Works and Services Unit defeated DUFARMS through a penalty shootout. Earlier, the Registry had defeated the Bursary 2–0.

According to the Director, the Football competition would continue with the Semi-Finals on Monday. He disclosed that the Games were scheduled to run for two weeks, while the closing ceremony date would be confirmed in consultation with Management, considering other major University activities this week.

Dr. Olabanji stated that the Vice-Chancellor is expected to preside over the closing ceremony and present medals and certificates to deserving winners. He urged staff to embrace the Games and sustain the spirit of unity beyond the competition, stressing that the ultimate objective is to promote recreation, wellness, understanding, social interaction and a healthier, more productive workforce.

… Reception Held Simultaneously in Abeokuta

By Olasunkanmi Olajide & Raymond Osemene

Late Prof. (Pastor) Elizabeth Abidemi Balogun, wife of the 4th Substantive Vice-Chancellor of the Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta (FUNAAB), Prof. Oluwafemi Olaiya Balogun, was on August 14, 2026, laid to rest in Ilorin, Kwara State.

The funeral service, held at the UMCA Chapel of Redemption, Gaa Akanbi, Ilorin, brought together family members, friends, colleagues, associates and well-wishers who gathered to celebrate the life and legacy of the deceased.

In his sermon, the officiating minister, Rev. Tunde Ademola, urged mourners to reflect on the brevity of life and the importance of making the right spiritual decisions while alive. Citing Hebrews 9:27, he reminded the congregation that everyone would ultimately face judgment based on the life lived.

Rev. Ademola emphasised that eternal life begins during one's lifetime through knowing God and accepting Jesus Christ, referencing John 17:3. He cautioned against postponing spiritual decisions, stressing that the opportunity to make such choices ends with death.

The cleric described eternal life as more than merely living forever, explaining that individuals must consciously choose their eternal destination while on earth. He also stressed that church attendance or participation in religious activities alone does not guarantee eternal life without a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.

Speaking on the life of the deceased, Rev. Ademola described Prof. Balogun as a woman whose Christian faith was evident in her daily life and interactions. He recalled her commitment to the church, noting that she was known for her care for others and her willingness to ensure that things were properly organised during church services.

He said her impact extended beyond material support, as she also contributed to the spiritual and personal development of people around her. He commended her for combining professional excellence with a strong Christian commitment and for remaining faithful to her marital covenant.

The cleric further recalled her thoughtfulness towards her family, including the provisions she continued to make for them, describing the gestures as evidence of her love, care and foresight.

Rev. Ademola urged the mourners to emulate the virtues of the deceased while also examining their own relationship with God. He reminded them that earthly accomplishments, wealth, houses and professional achievements were temporary and urged them to live with eternity in view.

He concluded by encouraging everyone to make a personal commitment to Christ while alive, noting that the opportunity to make such a decision does not extend beyond death.

Meanwhile, a reception was held simultaneously at the Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library (OOPL), Abeokuta, where members of the FUNAAB Community, family, friends and associates gathered to honour the memory of the late Professor.
