GO GREEN
We grow and eat locally grown food in our schools. The school farm is run by students and staff.
Sustainability is a vital part of students living and learning experience. it is simply about changing the culture of how we work and live. The goal of the green initiative is to create a happier, healthier and more fertile community where students and staff are happy. We do this by educating our staff, students and the community about how the choices they make can affect the environment.

ABOUT THE DIRECTOR
The Official Portrait of Adenike Akinsemolu
Adenike Akinsemolu is a passionate environmental researcher, educator, and female child advocate. Adenike holds a PhD in Environmental Microbiology and she is the author of numerous studies, which have appeared in reputable publications.
A former intern at Clinton Foundation, Adenike’s work and enthusiasm for youth and the environment have taken her all over the world. In order to make environmentalism a part of the everyday experience of Nigerians, Adenike started the Green Campus Initiative. This initiative began at the Adeyemi College Campus, a college of Obafemi Awolowo University, where she is a lecturer. By creating Green ambassadors on college campuses across Nigeria, Adenike’s movement aims to positively impact the ways in which Nigerian youth incorporate green living into all elements of their lives – from riding bikes to taking shorter showers.
When she is not raising the next generation of green leaders, she can be found traveling, spending time in nature, and playing sports.
