“Prof Abayomi has an affinity for the natural environment. His specialization in Nature, Health and Eco-destination development availed him of the opportunity to acquire 100.11 Hectares of land for conservation and preservation of a Private Forest Reserve Project. Professor Abayomi’s intention to collaborate with a prestigious academic institution of the caliber of the Department of Forest Resources Management, University of Ibadan, Nigeria, in the interest of applying the best methods in propagating various indigenous trees to add enrichment to planting for sustainable reforestation, conservation, biodiversity and education, is worthwhile and a hope for future generations.”
