[3] Daramola started his lectureship career at the University of Ibadan as a Teaching/Tutorial Assistant in the Department of Agricultural Economics in 1982.
He later joined the services of the Federal University of Technology, Akure as an Assistant Lecturer in the Department of Agricultural Economics and Extension on 1 September 1986.
[3] Professor Daramola served as the Chief Editor and chairman of the editorial board of African Journal of Agricultural and Resource Economics (AfJARE), Pretoria, South Africa (1 January 2010 to 2013).
He was also a consultant to several national and international organisations, such as the World Bank, Ford Foundation, USAID, DfID, African Development Bank (AfDB), Cocoa Research Institute of Nigeria (CRIN) and Community Development Foundation, Lagos, Nigeria, among others.
He wanted students to become ICT whiz kids and innovators, a new generation that would champion the country's development in technology.
Not surprisingly, students won prizes at several national and international competitions in the areas of ICT, Mathematics, Business, Building, Quantity Surveying and Transport Management.
He also embarked on new projects: student hostels, an International Scholars’ Lodge, lecture theatres, and a university bookshop.
FUTA's local and national impact became more noticeable: the university's Centre for Entrepreneurship was engaged by the Ondo State Government to provide training for cocoa farmers and by the Niger Delta Development Commission to provide vocational and entrepreneurial training to ex-militants.
Similarly, the university worked with engineers from the Nigerian Air Force to overcome some challenges with some of its aircraft.
A citizen of the world, he had travelled to 22 countries on five continents of Africa, Asia, Europe, North America and Oceania.
He was devoted to Funmilayo, his adoring wife of 36 years, his daughter, Tolu, and sons, Tayo and Tope.
