''It influenced my passion for farming greatly. My dad cannot do without having animals around him or having plants in his compound. While my brother developed a love for animals, plants caught my interest''
Finding the link between Computer Science and Agriculture, Ojuma said she can apply her knowledge of computer to agricultural areas as data mining and network apps for farmers.
Ojuma, therefore, affirms her passion for agriculture saying ''farming is an interest that I would not want to throw away. However, my certificate should give me an immediate placement since the aspect of farming I am interested in involves permanent crops that would take years to plan and execute.
''Being a first-class graduate, I intend to bring a new approach to agriculture that would even encourage other young people to venture into the sector.''
