Tubman University's College of Agriculture and Food Science Receives Boost with New Tractor and Tricycle
Tubman University's College of Agriculture and Food Science received a significant boost on August 8, 2024, with the arrival of a new tractor and tricycle. The equipment was delivered to the University garage and is set to enhance learning at the college.
It can be recalled that Dr. Olu Q. Menjay, the president of Tubman University, announced in early 2024 that the University College of Agriculture and Food Sciences was to receive equipment from the World Bank. The new machinery will provide students with hands-on experience in modern agricultural practices, thereby preparing them for the job market.
The tractor, a powerful piece of machinery, will be instrumental in plowing and tilling the soil, thereby increasing productivity in the University's farm. Meanwhile, the tricycle, a more compact and maneuverable machine, will be used for transporting agricultural produce and other materials around the campus.
The arrival of the new equipment has been met with excitement by both students and faculty members of the College of Agriculture and Food Science. For their part, students of the college expressed satisfaction and overwhelming gratitude to the University president and the success achieved. "This is a significant development for our college. The new tractor and tricycle will provide students with the practical skills needed to succeed in the agricultural sector.".
Student Emily Smith, said, "This is a game-changer for us. We will now have the opportunity to learn using modern equipment, which will significantly enhance our understanding of agricultural practices, she said".
Meanwhile, according to the administration, the new tractor and tricycle are part of Tubman University's commitment to providing its students with a world-class education. "The university, which has a rich tradition in agriculture, has not been investing in modern facilities and equipment, but with the above equipment, the University will ensure that its students are equipped with the necessary skills to compete in the global job market."
With the arrival of the new machinery, the College of Agriculture and Food Science is poised to continue its role as one of the hubs for agricultural education in Liberia. The university, under the leadership of Dr. Olu Q. Menjay, has consistently demonstrated its commitment to providing quality education and preparing its students for successful careers.
