This venture aims to create a sustainable source of income to supplement traditional funding sources, reducing the university's financial reliance on government allocations and tuition fees. The initiative is visioned on the premises of Diversification for Sustainability. Professor Bako's vision is clear: by venturing into the production of table water and soon-to-be-launched bottled water, TSU seeks to secure a resilient financial future. The move is a proactive step to ensure the university's sustainability in an ever-evolving economic society.

Community Impact: The TSU water factory not only serves the university community in Jalingo but also extends its delivery to the entire Taraba State and the Northeast region. With a focus on producing high-quality, clean, and affordable drinking water, the university addresses a local need that would significantly enhance the well-being of the host communities. This initiative positions TSUJ as a socially responsible institution actively engaged in meeting the demands of its region as a core obligation.

Reawakening Entrepreneurial Spirit: Beyond financial considerations, the Digital Professor's leadership in initiating the TSU Table Water and Beverages, Bakery and Confectioneries and other entrepreneurial projects set a remarkable example for other leaders to follow with an entrepreneurial spirit within the university and outside. The venture encourages innovation, a business mindset, and a proactive approach to problem-solving among the academic community.

This showcases the Vice-Chancellor's commitment to nurturing a culture of entrepreneurship, with potential long-term.
