Nusirat Aderinsola Sadiku recalls a childhood love of planting and visiting farms, which germinated as she got older. The second child among five born to parents who valued education, she chose to study agriculture at university, but soon changed her focus to forestry—although she was one of only three girls in the program. Sadiku is currently in a master’s program in wood science at FUT, where she is involved in the production of wood plastic composites. This involves using agricultural and forest wastes bound with plastic material to make more useful products, such as building materials and household utensils.
