Why we embark on planting of trees in our University by ASUU chairman.: The Chairman, Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), Nigeria, Adeyemi Federal University of Education (AFUED) Ondo branch, Dr. Olatubosun Ajisafe, has stated that the decision by the union, to carry out trees planting exercise in the institution, was aimed at contributing its quota to the efforts at combating the effect of climate change in the University. Ajisafe made the statement on Wednesday October 14, 2026, while speaking during tree planting exercise undertaken by the union at its Secretariat in the University. Speaking on the exercise code-named " Let Nature Thrive at AFUED, Protect Our Trees, Preserve Our Green Spaces", Ajisafe stated that preceding the ceremony, a committee headed by the Vice- Chairman of the Union, Dr. Victor Omojeje, came up with the idea of the tree planting initiative, which fell in line with the directives from the National body, which mandated all branches nationwide to carry out the exercise in all institutions. According to the AFUED ASUU branch chair, the initiative by the union was not only meant to combat erosion in the institution, but also meant to beautify it. His words: "Climate change is no longer a new threat to us, the effect is here, we talked about the change in temperature in recent times and also about floods in the environment". "One of the simplest and cheapest things to do, is to plant trees, so that one would be able to control erosion, and cool the temperature in our environment." " We decided to embark on trees planting in our University in order to beautify it and manage its soil, so, that is why, the Union at the branch, decided today to take this initiative by planting trees first in our Secretariat before we do it in other parts of the campus". Earlier in his remarks, the Vice- Chancellor, Adeyemi Federal University of Education (AFUED) Ondo, Prof. Bayode Isaiah Popoola, represented by his Deputy, Prof. Ireti Folasade Alao, described the exercise as a good initiative. The University Administrator said, "we need to plant trees around us in order to make our environment green and lively with fresh air and also to protect it from erosion ". "Trees are also wind breakers, strong winds are broken by heights of trees around us, and of course, trees are things that provide shade for us that we can even sit under and enjoy cool breeze and fresh air. Like it is said all over the world, that when you cut a tree, you need to plant like ten to replace it, and that is why, the University is supporting this initiative", he remarked. The tree planting exercise which was flagged off by the Deputy Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Ireti Folasade Alao, was followed with the performance of a similar act by Drs. Victor Omojeje, Olaniyan Rotimi Francis and planting of a coconut tree by Dr. (Mrs.) Mercy Fasehun . The exercise was witnessed by members of ASUU AFUED chapter, and other eminent personalities from within the University. How to attract grants and write good research questions by South African varsity teacher.: A Nigerian -born lecturer at the University of Cape town, South Africa, Dr. Jeremiah Ogunniyi, has highlighted ways through which members of academic staff in Nigeria tertiary institutions, could write good research questions, that could attract grants from international donor agencies. Dr. Ogunniyi was speaking at the opening of a 5-day Sponsored Scientific Research Workshop, organised by the Directorate of International Linkages and Research Development (DILRD), Adeyemi Federal University of Education (AFUED) Ondo, which began on Wednesday October 14 and slated to end on Tuesday October 20, 2026 in the institution. Speaking on : " Research Idea to Research Question", the University scholar, who is currently serving as visiting lecturer at the Department of Physics, AFUED, explained that research projects usually " begins with an idea, but a strong study, requires more than an interesting topic". The workshop facilitator, emphasised importance of constant reading by scholars, stating that the move would enable them explore more possibilities, and get acquainted with recent development in their areas of specialisations. Dr. Ogunniyi listed various ways through which he said research ideas could emerge to include problems observed in a community, institutions, workplace or personal practice. On what makes a good research, the renowned Atmospheric Physicist, advised interested researchers to always pay attention to interest, relevance of the research, its potential contributions to body of knowledge, its feasibility and potential significance to society before undertaken a project. In addition, the University teacher, also stressed the need for intending researchers to be conscious of time saying, "When we are writing for research grant, we should be able to determine our ability to complete it within the time frame allocated for carrying out the research ". On how research activities could be improved upon, the renowned scientist, said "if we want to improve our research, we must read journals, it is when we read journals, that we will understand what somebody has done on what we want to research" he stated. The workshop facilitator spoke on what he described as research gap, stating that it is observed " when something has not been studied, when something has been studied, but not within a particular context, when there is conflicting findings in existing studies, when there is a limitation in existing methods and when there is insufficient or incomplete evidence from the study carried out". As a way of addressing gap noted in research, the renowned physicist, stressed the need for researchers to first undertake what he called systematic review of what they want to undertake research on, "in order to find out what needs to be done. In addition, Dr. Jeremiah also harped on the need for researchers to be conscious of language used in order to avoid making vague statement". According to him, a good research questions must be clear, specific, focussed, researchable, answerable with evidence, committed to solving genuine problem gap as well as aligning with the problem being researched.

Counselling Expert to practitioners: Seek more knowledge on counselling theories and applications.: A counselling expert, Mrs. Olotu Catherine, has advised practicing Counsellors to seek constantly for more knowledge on counselling theories, in order to enable them provide solutions to the needs of their clients. Olotu made the statement, while speaking at a two-day capacity building workship organised by the Directorate of Counselling, Human Development and Career Service Centre (CHDCSC) Adeyemi Federal University of Education (AFUED), Ondo, Ondo State. The programme themed: “Enhancing Counselling Skills for Effective Management”, took place on Tuesday September 29 and Wednesday 30, 2026, at the Directorate’s library in the University.

Speaking on “Enhancing Counselling Skills for Effective Management”, the renowned counselling expert, Mrs. Olotu Catherine dealt on issues relating Career Counselling and Professional practice. According to her, “a counsellor is not just a good listener, but somebody who does more than listening”. She analysed counselling process as including listening, understanding, assessing, formulating, intervening and reviewing. Her words: “We listen to the clients story, we try to understand what is happening, we assess what is relevant, we develop a working understanding of the case, we choose an appropriate intervention, then we review whether the intervention is helping”, she remarked. On the misconception, which some people have about the meaning of counselling, which they narrow down to giving of advice, the workshop facilitator, said this is not true. According to her, “Counselling is not advice-giving”, though, it may sometimes be appropriate”, She, however, stressed the need for counsellors to go beyond giving advice, by making efforts to gather more information about the clients history, in order to be able to justify the advice to be given. The workshop facilitator spoke on wide application of counselling service in diverse human callings such as teaching, mentoring coaching, pastoral support, career guidance, psychological support and crisis management, she, therefore, advised practitioners to seek constantly for more knowledge, in order to improve their skills in the profession. Olotu emphasized importance of good counselling, she, however, stated that “good counselling is not about how quickly we can respond to a problem, it is about how accurately we understand what we are responding to”, she remarked. The two-day training workshop, which held at the CHDCSC Library in the University, was attended by counsellors in the Directorate, as well as some staff from the University’s Directorate, of Information and Public Relations. Adeyemi Varsity VC seeks partnership with institution’s alumni association: The Vice-Chancellor of the Adeyemi Federal University of Education (AFUED) Ondo, Prof. Bayode Isaiah Popoola, has emphasized the need for stronger partnership between the institution’s Management, and its alumni association, stating that the development would advance the progress of the University.

Emphasising important role being played by Alumni Association in the institution’s development, the University helmsman, described the body as critical stakeholders whose contributions are needed for the development of the University. He advised members of the institution’s alumni to see themselves not “only as former students, but as partners and owners, with a continuing responsibility to contribute to the advancements of your alma mater”. In addition, Prof. Popoola said alumni engagements should extend beyond financial contributions to include advocacy, mentorship, professional support, student’s development and the promotion of the University reputation and achievements. The Vice Chancellor also called on members of the alumni association to serve as advancement ambassadors, using their professional networks and spheres of influence to promote the institution and create opportunities for strategic partnerships. “The advancement of the university is a collective responsibility.

The AFUED AAR Director, likened the university to “our own Jerusalem,” describing it as an institution that provided many alumni with their first academic opportunities, friendships, mentorship and the foundations of their professional careers and stressed that giving back to the university, should not be viewed solely in financial terms. “When we speak of giving back to our Alma Mater, we are not speaking merely of financial donations. We are speaking of a responsibility to protect its reputation, strengthen its institutions, support its students, encourage its development, and ensure that future generations can benefit from the opportunities that shaped our own lives,” he stated. He urged alumni staff to regard the university’s progress as a shared responsibility, noting that its achievements enhance the value of the legacy inherited by successive generations, while its challenges require collective attention and contributions.
