Farreach Theory Arrives at FUTO: Empowering a New Generation of Social Innovators
On Tuesday, August 26, 2025, the Federal University of Technology, Owerri (FUTO) became the first Nigerian university to host a groundbreaking workshop on Farreach Theory and its practical extension—the Farreach 1 Toolkit. This milestone event was spearheaded by the Farreach International Team, led by Chijioke Dikeocha and Nneka Chijioke Dikeocha, and welcomed over 100 participants including students and faculty members from the School of Logistics and Innovation Technology.
🌍 Why It Matters
Too often, innovations born in universities remain confined to labs, journals, or theoretical models—lacking the tools for real-world application. Farreach Theory was created to solve this problem.
“As academics and innovators, we constantly generate pioneering solutions. But our ideas too often fail to reach the communities, industries, and institutions where they can drive real change,” said Mr. Dikeocha.
Farreach Theory provides a structured framework rooted in relevance, resilience, and regeneration—empowering academics and development practitioners to translate ideas into scalable, sustainable impact.
🛠️ Introducing the Farreach 1 Toolkit
The highlight of the FUTO workshop was the live demonstration of the Farreach 1 Toolkit—an intuitive, AI-powered suite of tools that enables innovation teams to design, implement, monitor, evaluate, and scale social innovation projects in real time.
Key features include:
- 🎯 Relevance mapping and stakeholder analysis tools
- 📢 Communication strategy builder
- 📊 Monitoring & Evaluation dashboard
- 🤖 AI-powered proposal generator
- 📋 Structured reporting and documentation templates
- 💰 Integrated project accounting module
- 🚀 Continuous updates driven by African innovators
🎓 Academic Impact
Prof. Kevin Okorocha, Dean of the School of Logistics and Innovation Technology, facilitated the workshop and encouraged both faculty members and students to embrace the new tools:
“This initiative aligns perfectly with FUTO’s mission—to apply knowledge toward solving Nigeria’s development challenges. The Farreach approach is a game-changer for teaching, learning, and professional practice.”
Notable participants included:
- Prof. Amadi, Immediate Past Dean
- Heads of Department from Maritime & Logistics Technology and Supply Chain Technology
- Faculty members from across the School of Logistics and Innovation Technology
🤝 Collaboration Ahead
The Farreach Team extended appreciation to the Vice Chancellor, Prof. Nnenna Oti, for her visionary support and to the Deputy Vice Chancellors and Dean, Prof Okorocha for facilitating the workshop. Plans are already underway for future collaborations, including seminars and capacity-building sessions across Nigerian universities.
