Adebusola Deborah Oyenuga

By mmavhima on August 18, 2024

Faculty: Land and Food Systems

Program: Master of Food and Resource Economics

Year: 2017

Country: Nigeria

    Growing up in an immediate family of five in the remote and quiet town of Ilaro, Nigeria, Debbie learned the virtues of humanitarianism and leadership from her parents. These virtues ignited a desire to be in a role that allowed her to assist people and empower people towards a path of self-worth and self-sufficiency. Throughout her life, she states that she has had multiple experiences that have taught her “life is like a boomerang, our actions today always catch up with us in the future and a good turn deserves another”. Debbie’s major drive for her personal goals is the need to empower people for sustainability.

    Most recently, she was a member and facilitator for the Agro-allied community development service (CDS) group of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) program. She organized sensitization sessions for students and establishes young farmers’ clubs in secondary schools in her community through educating farmers in seminars and practical sessions.

    The Master of Food Resource and Economics program interests Debbie due to its broad based professional approach. She hopes to gain knowledge, skills and experience that are necessary for solving real problems in the food and resource sectors. She plans to use her degree to help her develop an ability to make the right economic decisions, review various approaches that engender food security, and understand the dynamics of food and resource markets.
