A professor at the Department of Agricultural and Biosystems Engineering, University of Ilorin, Joshua Olaoye, has built a rice harvester to enhance rice production in Nigeria.

Mr Olaoye who disclosed this in his paper at the 187th Inaugural Lecture of the University of Ilorin on Thursday said this was done to ensure large-scale food production in Nigeria,

Mr Olaoye’s paper was titled: “Gathering the Fragments…that nothing is wasted: Advancing Agricultural Mechanisation, Energy and Food Sovereignty Catena”. He observed that in many developing countries, agricultural practices continued to be based on animal and human energy.“Insufficient mechanical and electrical energy is available for agriculture hence the potential gains in agricultural productivity through the deployment of modern energy services are not being realised,” Mr Olaoye noted.
