The University of Ibadan has achieved a remarkable milestone as two of its students emerged winners in the “Get Creative with Plastic” Challenge, a part of the French Embassy’s Plastic Free Campus Awareness Initiative.

UI was one of the 10 Nigerian universities selected to participate in the initiative funded by the French Embassy Fund (FEF) Project.

The initiative was championed by the Vice Chancellor, Prof. K. O. Adebowale, and coordinated through the Office of the Deputy Vice Chancellor (Research, Innovation and Strategic Partnerships), Prof. Oluyemisi Bamgbose, SAN.

There was also support from Prof. P. O. Olapegba (DVC Administration); Prof. Aderonke M. Baiyeroju (DVC Academics); and the Registrar, Mr. G. O. Saliu.

Prof. Aina O. Adeogun of the Department of Zoology served as the focal person for the UI-FEF Campus Wide Initiative.

Working closely with the Students’ Union Executive Committee, Directorate of Public Communication, and Informatiom Technology and Media Services Unit, the team ensured robust students’ engagement and wide participation across the university community.

The University of Ibadan’s contribution stood out significantly, with over 300 students actively participating and more than 100 creative submissions in the Challenge.

UI recorded the highest level of engagement among all participating campuses, a feat that could only be from UI as the “First and the Best.”

Due to the extraordinary commitment, the university became the only university among the 10 to have two winners in the challenge.

They are Paul Debbie, a 300-level student of the Department of Environmental Health Science, Faculty of Public Health, in Music Category, and Adekunle Julius Akorede, a 300-level student of the Department of Physiology, Faculty of Basic Medical Sciences, in Writing Category.

This recognition has underscored the University of Ibadan’s leadership and sustained excellence in addressing plastic pollution and environmental sustainability in Nigeria.
