The H.O.D walk started around 8:30am. It was spearheaded by the Head of Department, Agric Tech, Engr. Amosu. People present at the event include students of Food Technology, lecturers, the bursar, the managing director of FUNMAN. The Rector of the college should have been there but for some reason she couldn’t make it. The HOD’s daughter and son-in-law were also present. All Agric Tech students were invited but the turnout was really low because most students were tied up with their SIWES programme. However, some past Agric Tech students were there to support the movement.
The walk started from Yabatech to Maryland. The walk ended around 10:30AM and after that every participant moved down to Protea Hotel in Ikeja. There was a brief seminar and lunch that lasted for at least 3hours. Media partners include Channels, TVC and Nigerian News Agency.
The theme of the walk was ‘Limbs for Life’ foundation, some amputees were also present. For the records, the HOD of Agric Tech has been an amputee for over 11 years, notwithstanding she is very vibrant. Also, a professor/doctor from Ibadan delivered a lecture that made most people realize that being an amputee is not the end of the world. He further stated that, amputees from the age of 40 don’t have limbs again and they are mostly men.
