LAUTECH Student Wins National Grant to Champion Antimicrobial Resistance and Biosecurity Awareness

The Ladoke Akintola University of Technology (LAUTECH) community is celebrating Adisa Abraham Akolade, a student of Animal Production and Health, who has been selected for a national grant to advance antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and biosecurity awareness initiatives.

The grant, sponsored by Bioshield in commemoration of the World Antimicrobial Awareness Week (WAAW), recognised only 59 awardees across the country, with Akolade emerging as the sole recipient from LAUTECH.

Under the award, he will spearhead a campus-wide sensitisation campaign designed to educate students and staff on responsible antimicrobial use and improved biosecurity practices.

The University has congratulated Akolade on this milestone accomplishment and expressed confidence in his capacity to deliver impactful outreach across the institution.
