MISSION
WUFAS AGRONet is joining effort in revitalizing the economy through Agricultural Entrepreneurial/Empowerment of Youth and others through our Demonstrative Seminar in Food Processing Technology. Now that Nigeria is venturing back into Agricultural era, we must not rush into Production of Food and Value Chain but must first imbibe the right Ethics of Food Processing Technology. Only this can guarantee good quality and globally acceptable products. Our course outline include the following
WATER TREATMENT
This include the (4) four basic parameters of water treatment as approved by World Health Organization (WHO),(i) Physical Appearance (ii) Chemical (iii) Traced Toxic/Heavy metals and (iv) Microbiology. This will inculcate in them that inferior (untreated) water will produce unacceptable food globally. Hence, they must know the production technique of good quality water
FOOD MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
Food management is a major component of Food Safety Measure aimed at proper handling, preparation and storing of food with reduced risk of food borne illness. This include: Food laws, Personal Hygiene, Hygienic Manufacturing Practice of food, Housekeeping in Factories, Cleaning (type/chemical), Handling of visitors/contractors in Food Premises. To prevent unwarranted contamination of food pollutants.
QUALITY CONTROL concept
By raising standard and keeping to integrity and excellence. Insisting on only the best ingredients. Importance of Maintaining acceptable standard in Food Production through Objective and Subjective methods of analysis e.g. taste paneling, colour comparism, weight, ingredients, acidity (mg/litre)
PRESERVATION
To prevent deterioration of package products, there is need to apply specific type of preservative for various causative agents such as Yeast, mould, bacteria and moisture, oxygen etc. such as
Thermal treatment; Different types of Pasteurization (HTST)
Chemical Treatment
Temperature control (Cold Chain)
Gasification and lot more.
PACKAGING
The art and science of packaging is very vast and revolutionary all aimed at realizing market potentials to resist insect investation on food right from the farm different packaging materials are used e.g. cellulose, polyethylene, Craft paper, laminated alum foil, Tetra-packaging etc.
Functions of Packaging
Ready Handing
Mechanical strength to protect against handling, piercing, under various temperature and humidity
Exact weighting
Water vapour protection
Oxygen and air barrier
Light occlusion and many others
PRODUCTION PLANNING MODEL
Maximizing the deployment of scarce economic resources to production. This mechanism is an executive tool (amongst others) used to for making decision (under certainty) that relate to Business. It is all about allocating of production facilities with the aim of optional strategy determination with resultant large savings of scarce resources, profit possibilities and capacity restrictions.
RISK/HAZARD ASSESSMENT
Fire outbreak is number one (1) Hazard to any investment. We treat the triangular causative of fire i.e. Heat, oxygen and fuel and the extinguishing techniques. The signage of various Hazards in Production premises.
DOWNTIME CONTROL
Preventive maintenance
Scheduling of maintenance crew
To minimize downtine
Replacement of old worn out of equipment caused by state or nature which affect Deterioration, breakages and failure as result of wear and tears.
Machines are not alike hence the servicing time are not the same for each machine.
There must be synergy between the Production, Q/C and Engineering Departments to control Downtime.
STORE/WAREHOUSE
Different types of material store
Receipt inward
Movement of items from store
Informative function of store
CARBONATION
Carbonation is the infusion of carbon dioxide gas Co2 into (still) liquid beverage such as beer, soft, cordial drinks etc.
CARBONATION
How to apply Co2 into beverage
What is carbonation in (still) beverage
Different types of carbonation
10 functions of carbonation
Preservative function

DETERGENTS used for washing in industries should have the following characteristics.
-Ability to loosen organic matters eg. Soil etc. (organic dissolving power)
-Good rinsing power.
-Adequate wetting power to allow detergent to penetrate the deposit acting quickly and efficiently.
-Good sequestering power – removal of mineral deposits eg. Calcium, magnesium.
-Emulsifying power – fragmenting oil into tiny particles.
-Adequate germicidal power to sterilized dirty detergent solutions.
-Ability to dissolve alkali solutions precipitate of calcium and magnesium salt.
-It should not be corrosive.
-It should posses good buffering and saponifying powers.
The above characters may not be contained in a single detergent but if blended with others rich in some of the characters, a good result may be achieved.
MAJOR SOURCES OF DETERGENTS.
{Alkalis} – Caustic soda is the basic ingredient of detergent however,
there could be addition of other additives to give a property to the detergent. Other basic ingredients are Soda ash, Sodium silicate and others as seen above.
SEQUESTERING AGENT.
This is the action of polyphosphate in precipitation of calcium and magnesium salts in water creating additional wetting agent and polyphosphate to assist sequestration this would constitute most effective and economical clean-in-place detergent for brewing cleanings.
WETTING AGENT.
Known generally as synthetic detergent, Wetting agents are classified into 3 major types :An-ionic and Cat-ionic wetting agents.
The An-ionc type is commonly used for detergent formulation eg. Sulphated alcohols alkyl or aryl sulphonates. Non-ionic are mostly the polyethylonic oxide. On blending of both an ionic and catonic the result may be excessive foaming. It also processes good wetting, dispersing and rinsing power.
STERILISING AGENT.
Alkalis porcess sterilizing power, which increases with pH and temperature.

Food Security
SECURITY PATHWAYS IN RELATION TO SUSTAINABLE FOOD SECURITY OF A NATION.
Good governance is predicated on ensuring the actualisation of the various security architecture of a Nation. The political barometer is also monitored through the efficiency of the security pathways which are :
INTERNAL SECURITY, INFORMATION/COMMUNICATION. , FOOD SECURITY, HEALTH ,EDUCATION, ELECTRICITY, TRANSPORTATION AND INDUSTRIAL GROWTH.
.
All the above are the essential security systems that can produce and provide QUALITY POPULATION through good and quality SUPERVISION
✅NATIONAL Security of life and properties is the (numero uno) number one responsibility of the Head of government be it President, Head of state and others. The mandate to secure life and property is paramount , they control and command the apparatus of security such as adequate Policing, effective Armed forces- Army for protection against external or internal aggression. Customs / Immigration for vigilant boarders patrol to prevent smuggling and immigration control amongst many others . Equipping them with weapons, Aircrafts, Vehicles, Boats etc.
For effective surveillance. In tackling the menace of bandits and kidnappers who have taken over the forest prohibiting farming activities . Armed Forest Guards / Rangers should be introduced.
INFORMATION/COMMUNICATION.
The entire world is in information age.
The constitution clearly stipulate that every person shall be entitled to freedom of expression, freedom to hold opinions and to receive as well as to impact ideas and information.
However, it is the opinion of this writer that freedom be guided with secured intent to prevent abuse that may result in conflicts and war through hateful and unguided utterances.
The most acceptable form of communication is such that promote humane, responsible and patriotic reportage upholding the concept of discipline and promoting values nationally and internationally.
A lot of opportunity mostly untapped abound for investment in Information and communication like Print, Electronic and ICT media.
For industrial growth, information through advertisement, publication and social media is vital for public awareness.
FOOD SECURITY
Whether one eat to live or live to eat is a matter of semantics the bottom – line is Food is the main sustainace of bodies and souls. The importance of food cannot be over emphasised . knowing this fact of life has made the developed world to appropriately plan for provision of quality food for their citizens. Provision of food is prioritize in their national agenda. It is on this note that the United Nation’s clarion call to others in the world to emulate the culture of Sustainable Food Security ensuring the Tripple A(s). of AVAILABILITY, ACCEPTABLITY and AFFORDABILITY. ( UN 2030 food security agenda) of good quality food for the underdeveloped countries who are import dependent on basic food items such as Rice, Sugar, Dairy , Beverages etc .
Presently, Nigeria is revolutionising agrioprenuerial activities, it’s hoped that the present policies on agriculture will not be Summersaulted. The Maputo declaration on allocation of minimum 10% of the country’s annual budget must go to agriculture. Food must be made a constitutional right for all. The authority must take time to support Micro and Small scale Agroprenuerails activities to adapt to climate change. Agroprenuerail activities is the surest way to lift hundreds of millions out of hunger, poverty, conflict and deaspiration.
HEALTH CARE
Health is wealth – Primary Health care delivery must be taken to the grassroot levels, while Rural Health care moblisation be made available and effective all must be well equipped with vaccines, drugs, consumables and other biologicals.
— Ensure maintenance of standard by private sector through effective monitoring.
— Tapping into Herbs Processing , local medical herbs be Researched into by National Institute of Pharmaceutical RnD. In Collaboration with Fed Mins. of Science and Technology.
— Integration of alternative medicine into health care.
— Health insurance scheme must be intensified on .
— Stemming of illegal importation of smuggled fake drugs and illegal drug manufacturing in the country.
EDUCATION
A Society, Community and Nation is as good as the percentage of her literary population. The various levels of education are Primary , Secondary and teriary education 6-3-3-4 .Education must attract appropriate budget at all time. Education is being administered by Public and Private participation at all levels. The special education must receive attention by provision of special equipment such as braille machine, audiometer etc.
ELECTRICITY
To the chagrin of the unsuspecting consumers and Contrary to claim of the generation companies that generation capacity has improved to 7000 MW , the actual has been fluctuating between 2500 -3500 MW.(April 2019)
The idea of mono grid must be jettison while the legislation be relaxed to accommodate Private participations in generation. While effort must be intensified on the Green Bond of #10.97bn raise in December 2018. for financing of SOLAR energy.
Industrial development is unachievable without steady supply of electricity. A green belt of
Industrial Parks on Green energy is recommended in all the States of federation.this will sustain industrial activities that will promote growth.
TRANSPORTATION
This sector is an indispensable catalyst for stimulating economic, social, political and strategic/defence development of a Nation. All the National Development plans must accord the transport sector very high priority. In the formulation of National Transport policy, there must be defined objectives such as economic efficiency and coordinated development plan.
All forms of transportation system are embraced in Nigeria. Motor ,Railway transportation, inland waterways, aviation terminal and handling facilities seaports, airports and riverports including other ancillary facilities.
The administration of Transportation is vested in both Fed. Ministry of Works and Housing (Fed. Highways – Interstate roads Construction and maintenance) and State Ministry of Works/Transport (interstate roads while LG is responsible for Urban and Rural roads Construction and maintenance.
Aviation Ministry for Civil Aviation, Airports Development Management and Metrological services.
Internationally, the railway system is more affordable and relatively saver the frequency in Nigeria must be upgraded not scanty show up as is now the case.
INDUSTRIAL GROWTH
The economic growth rate ( 2019) is 2.1% ,this development is not unconnected with the dismal performances of the various indices above. eg the manufacturing growth rate is presently less than 7% although the Fedreral government set a 10.6% goal in 2017.which was to be driven by SME. Productivity is the only stimulant for Industrial growth. Farming output is barely about 22% mostly subsistence. .about 55% of work force is absorbed by agriculture. The major farming communities in North East, Middle belt downwards to the southern section are being sacked either Boko Haram terrorist or Pasteuralist /Farmers conflicts and banditry.
The various activities as enumerated in this writeup are all depended on Food security system. FOOD SECURITY MUST BE IN THE FRONT BURNER TO ACHIEVE SUCCESS. IN OTHER SEGMENTS.
CONCLUSION
— FOOD Security issues must be in the front burner of government’s agenda. Since it encompasses all other activities.
— The effectiveness of other parasatal must be ensured through adequate supervision.
— TO PREVENT IMMINENT DANGER OF FAMINE. Forest Guards (armed) must be appropriately deployed to secure the large expanse of the forest for Farming activities.
— Indigenous Reserch and Development on local Technology be improved on.
— Electricity generation from Green Energy source should be encouraged in the Industrial parks.
— Food Security system must be made a CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT for all the citizenry.
