Reference excerpt

Tomilayo Adekanye is a Nigerian professor of agricultural economics. She was the first female professor in any agricultural-related field in Nigeria, and the first in agricultural economics in Africa.

Career She commenced her university teaching career as staff member of Department of Agricultural Economics at Obafemi Awolowo University (then University of Ife) between 1966 and 1975. She moved subsequently to University of Ibadan's Department of Agricultural Economics, as Lecturer I (1975), rising to the ranks of Senior Lecturer (1977), Associate Professor (Reader), and, in 1980, to the full position of Professor in 1983. Between 1990 and 1991, she was the Commissioner for Trade and Investment in Oyo State. She is also a one-time commissioner of agriculture in the state. Organizations and agencies with which she has previously consulted at the international level include ECA, ILO, FAO, IFAD, UNDP, UNICEF, UNIFEM, and Ford Foundation. She presently lectures at Babcock University. In 1984, she conducted another study that cuts across women in the main ethnic groups in Nigeria. The findings from the study titled, Women in agriculture in Nigeria: Problems and policies for development, was that for women to be able to maximize what agriculture has to offer, there needs to be a mechanism in-place that will ensure both academic and financial stability.

Education and publications According to Google Scholar, her most cited paper is a 1988 4-year study titled "Women and Rural Poverty: Some Considerations From Nigeria", which focuses on how women engaging in agriculture in Southwestern Nigeria are not fairly incorporated in the system, thereby causing them to lag behind men in terms of development. She has also authored several books on agriculture, such as: Women in Agriculture in Nigeria (Addis, ECA, 1981), Women in Agriculture (Institute of African Studies, University of Ibadan, 1988), Readings in Agricultural Marketing (Ibadan, Longman, 1988), African Women in Agriculture (Ibadan, CEGGAD, 2004), and some 75 other publications contributed as chapters in books, articles in peer-reviewed and learned journals, and monographs and technical reports.

Personal life She is married to J. 'Bayo Adekanye, an emeritus professor of political science and immediate past chairman of the governing council of Chrisland University they are both blessed with two children, Deaconess Ayomide Balogun (Nee Adekanye) and Dr J.'Bayo Adekanye who are respectively based in the UK and Canada.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Tomilayo Adekanye

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Tomilayo Adekanye claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In astronomy, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Tomilayo Adekanye before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Tomilayo Adekanye ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Tomilayo Adekanye

In research: Tomilayo Adekanye appears in astronomy research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Tomilayo Adekanye in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Tomilayo Adekanye is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1942 births, 20th-century Nigerian economists, 21st-century Nigerian economists, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Tomilayo Adekanye outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
