* Students
N.B: It was expected that LMDV would supply the tent (canopy/tables and chairs) that was to be used for the event. For unavoidable reason(s), however, LMDV could not and the College resulted to renting from Omu-Aran town. Details of the expenses incurred on this is provided below:
| Item | Quantity | Unit price | Total |
| Tents | 4 | 2,500 | 10,000 |
| Tables | 20 | 500 | 10,000 |
| Chairs | 3 dozen | 600/dozen | 1,800 |
| TOTAL EXPENSES | N21,800 |
Remittance
From the Tables above, a net sum of N9,700 (N31,500-N21800) was realized from the sale of registration forms. The expenses incurred on the rent of tents reduced the amount to be remitted into the University account as IGR.
Conclusion
The day, which was full of entertainment was graced with musical instruments from the Gilgal House Media. The platform was interactive, bringing together staff and students and sale of the various items received good patronage from both staff

and students. The students were particularly excited as they had the opportunity to demonstrate their theoretical agripreneurial skills in a practical way through value addition as well as showcasing of their business acumen.
The staff and students of the College of Agricultural Sciences hereby express our sincere appreciation to the Management for granting us this opportunity. It is our prayer that Landmark University will continue to soar high like the eagles, amongst other citadels of learning in Christ name.
