UI Health Service flags off “Go Organic, Live Healthy” Project

The University of Ibadan Health Service’s (UHS) Fruits and Veggies Palace has opened an outlet for organic products under the “Go Organic, Live Healthy” project for the University community and its environs.
The outlet was facilitated by the Environmental Conflict Mediation and Women Development Initiative (ECOMAWDI).
According to the information obtained through the directorate of public information, The Director of the University Health Service, Dr. Aderonke B. Ajav said the opening of the outlet was a great landmark in the achievements of the University Health Service.
She explained that the opening of the UHS organic market as a space where members of the community could buy organic farm produce was meant to create healthy living awareness and thus enhance good health within the University community.
Dr Ajav said that through ECOMAWDI, the University Health Service was able to connect with the Organic Agriculture Practitioners of Nigeria for first-hand organic farm produce.
“The sale of organic vegetables and fruits would be extended to halls of residence where students could buy at affordable prices and eat healthy,” she was quoted saying.
She also said one of the projects that the UHS will embark on, is the creation of a corner at each hall of residence where informative and educative write ups on “Go Organic, Live Healthy” awareness would be painted and designed.
