Every Student In Agricultural Universities Will Have Farms From Their Second Year- FG

In a bid to enhance agricultural education and upgrade their standard of learning , the Minister of Agriculture, Audu Ogbeh, has directed the governing Councils of all Federal Universities of Agriculture, to ensure that every student in their institution must own viable farmlands on campus from 200-level till graduation.

Ogbeh who gave the directive during a meeting with members of the governing councils in Abuja yesterday August 8th said,

“Every undergraduate must- and I repeat- must own a farm on campus from 200 level. We are training high-level young farmers who, even before graduating, should have started earning a living. We should be training graduates who should be going straight into production, with credit support from their alma-mata, produce chicken, eggs, goats, milk, set up meat laboratories, bake bread and above all produce and sell large quantities of high-quality hybrid seeds”
