On his LinkedIn page, Adeyemo Inuoluwa shared how he developed a small-scale briquetting machine for agricultural residues as part of his final-year project.
His LinkedIn post read:
"My final year stretched me in ways I didn't think were possible. I worked on my final-year project titled Development of a Small-Scale Briquetting Machine for Agricultural Residues, where I developed and tested a small-scale hydraulic press briquetting machine that converts agricultural waste into usable fuel while juggling tests, deadlines, leadership responsibilities, and final exams. Beyond the academic requirement, the project addressed real environmental and waste management challenges."
He listed the impact of the invention as follows:
- Providing a cleaner alternative fuel from agricultural residues
- Reducing open burning and the air pollution that comes with it
- Promoting better waste management and resource utilisation
- Supporting environmental health and sustainable energy practices.
"I also hope to further develop this project beyond the academic stage, intending to contribute to the growth of sustainable waste management solutions.
"At the same time, I served as the Social Director for the Agricultural and Environmental Engineering Students Society, University of Ibadan, which meant being actively involved in: - Planning and executing the Freshers’ Welcome - Coordinating activities for AEESSUI Week - Supporting the planning and logistics of the AEESSUI Conference.
The student discussed how he had to balance leadership duties with project development, coursework, and final exams, with structure, discipline, teamwork, and many late nights contributing to his success.
"Alongside academics and leadership, I’ve also been building my path into cybersecurity. Before my final year, I had already gotten the Google Cybersecurity Professional Certificate and also finished my personal 100 Days of Cybersecurity challenge. During my final year, I wasn’t able to go as deep into cybersecurity as I wanted.
"The focus had to shift to immediate academic and leadership responsibilities. Now that the season is over, I’m fully active again and currently: - Taking the IT Automation with Python program on Coursera - Enrolled in the Network Defence course on Cisco Networking Academy - Getting back to consistent hands-on practice in cybersecurity."

Inuoluwa explained that his final year as a University of Ibadan student had taught him that growth is not always fast or visible.
"Sometimes you slow down to handle what’s in front of you, but staying committed to the direction makes the difference. I’m also grateful to share that I’ve been inducted into the Nigerian Society of Engineers.
"So, I’m reintroducing myself: ADEYEMO INIOLUWA ADENIYI (GMNSE) B.Sc. Agricultural and Environmental Engineering University of Ibadan. I’m glad to be done. And excited for what comes next."
