first time, the university of first choice among Applicants with almost a 100,000 applications.

No State or Private institution are yet to establish any University of Agriculture. Nigeria yearly importation of agricultural product are in Billions , we have the Lands and also the proper weather condition.Benue is the “Food Basket of the Nation”; the government – State and Federal – and also individuals can make real this slogan.

The survival of any Nation is hugely dependent on self-sustaining food production capacity. Can Nigeria feed herself?
