Prof. Akindele said that the workshop which was to empower the Redeemer’s University women (RUNWA) and other participants was timely and in line with the vision of the institution to continuously impact the university community through commitment and excellence.  He appreciated the women for being a strong support to their husband.

Delivering her speech, the Chief Executive Officer of Green Gold Foods and Beverages Limited and Founder, Hope Alive Training Academy, Ibadan, Oyo State, and Urban Agriculture School, Mrs Oluwatomi Olatoye, highlighted the importance of growing ‘OBE’ (soup) in the garden.

She encouraged all participant to use cans, containers, and used pet coke bottles to plant even when there is no space to grow things. She concluded by saying that, gardening gives healthy produce that helps human to live long.

Mrs Oluwatoye encouraged cancer and diabetic patients to own and tend a garden because it will expose such persons to morning sun which contains vitamin D. She, however, said “gardening with family brings unity and bonding, it teaches children to be kind-hearted and balanced by tendering to every plant,” she said.
