The Vice-Chancellor of the Federal University, Oye-Ekiti, (FUOYE) Professor Abayomi Fashina, on Tuesday visited his student, chef Damilola Adeparusi popularly known as Chef Dammy who is on a quest to get into the Guinness World Records.

Professor Fasina visited Dammy’s kitchen with at least 8 dignitaries including members of the university council.
Fasina said, “In FUOYE, we motivate you to innovate. We encourage our students to pursue their dreams with sound and functional education which we painstakingly impact on our students and you are a shining example and testimony of the hard work of our dynamic lecturers.
“We are indeed very happy for you and we encourage you and others to continue to make us proud by bringing into practice the functional education and positive values you are receiving in FUOYE.”
The VC thereafter handed over a cash gift of N200,000 to her.
