Egbewole, however, called on other sets to borrow a leaf from the1992 set and other previous donors in responding positively to the needs of their Faculties.

He added that the gesture would serve as a motivation to other sets to donate materials and equipment that could create a positive drive in training students.

On his part, the Dean of the Faculty, Prof. Olayinka Karim, noted that the 1989, 1992, and 1994 sets have been of great assistance to the Faculty for their generous contributions in several capacities to uplift the standard of the Faculty.

Karim also called on other alumni of the Faculty to emulate the gesture of the donors and give back to the citadel of learning that moulded them to their present status.

Also speaking on behalf of the students of the Faculty, the President of the National Association of Agricultural Students (NAAS), Unilorin Chapter, Aromoye Abdullateef, appreciated the 1992 alumni of the Faculty, assuring all present that the seat-out will be put to proper use.
