At the end of the exhibition, one of the exhibits from the Department of Wood Science and Technology of the College of Agriculture and Natural Resources was adjudged the third place in a keenly contested competition of innovative products of the exhibition. The innovative exhibit was a retractable and foldable bamboo minibar. The design of this minibar seeks to minimise the use of space by being foldable and retractable and also save the forest through the use of bamboo which is a lesser-known wood species for furniture in Ghana.
