The tour, organised around this year’s global theme, “Smart Engineering for a Sustainable Future Through Innovation and Digitalization,” provided 13 students from UNILAG’s Faculty of Engineering, along with two representatives from the Nigerian Institution of Mechanical Engineers (NIMechE), with firsthand exposure to modern industrial engineering processes.
Participants explored key production stages and learned how smart systems and digital technologies are shaping sustainable industrial development.
A dedicated Health, Safety, and Environment (HSE) officer ensured strict compliance with safety protocols throughout the visit.
Speaking during the tour, Fouad El Chami, Plant Manager, Production at JMG, said, “Engineering is best understood not only in classrooms but through real industrial experience. Opening our facility to students allows them to see innovation, technology, and problem-solving in action. It helps bridge the gap between theory and practice while inspiring young engineers to contribute meaningfully to Nigeria’s industrial and technological advancement.”
Students also engaged with JMG engineers in an interactive session, asking questions and gaining insights into career opportunities and practical applications of engineering skills.
The factory visit underscores JMG’s commitment to supporting engineering education, fostering industry-academia collaboration, and inspiring the next generation of innovators who will drive Nigeria’s technological growth.
