Thomas Adewumi University's Feed Mill Sits Idle Despite Full Production Capacity
Cyclone separator, hammer mill, and mixing drum found inactive, raising questions about utilization of agricultural processing assets
A compound feed production line at Thomas Adewumi University's agricultural farm comprising a cyclone separator, an electric hammer mill, and a large rotary mixing drum was found inactive during a recent visit, despite appearing structurally intact and seemingly capable of full operation.

The equipment, housed in a block and corrugated roof structure on the university farm, represents a complete small-scale feed processing system: raw grain would typically be ground in the hammer mill, separated from dust and chaff via the cyclone unit, then blended with feed additives in the horizontal mixing drum before being channeled to livestock units.
However, the machines showed visible signs of dust accumulation and prolonged disuse. An unfinished concrete collection pit in the foreground of the facility also remains incomplete, suggesting the processing line may not yet be fully operational.
Sources within the university's agricultural unit say the feed mill was installed to support the institution's livestock and poultry operations but has faced intermittent use due to operational or funding challenges.
