"This initiative is about more than just baking bread—it's about delivering quality, nutrition, and accessibility," Olorode stated. "Our goal is to run the bakery efficiently to meet the needs of over 4,000 students residing on campus."
To reinforce the initiative, FUNAAB's Environmental Unit has introduced new policies limiting the sale of externally sourced bread, a move designed to uphold quality control and long-term sustainability.
Present at the event were Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Development) Prof. Kola Adebayo, Director of FUNAAB Integrated Ventures Olufisayo Amubode, and Deputy Registrar (DVC Development's Office) Folasade Giwa.
Nutrient Life Group, renowned for its innovative approach to food production, views this partnership as part of a larger mission to promote sustainability, improve nutrition, and expand food accessibility across educational institutions and African communities.
