FG Insists Every University Of Agriculture Student Must Have A Farm Before Graduation:

The Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development, Audu Ogbeh in a recent meeting with representatives of the three institutions in Abuja disclosed that henceforth all students of agric. institutions must show their farms before they are allowed to graduate.

The Minister explained further that all agric. Undergraduates must be ready to contribute to the economic recovery plan of the present administration through diversification into agriculture.

“Now all undergraduates of the institutions must have a farm to qualify them for graduation. We do not forbid the teaching of electives like some accounting, business administration and so on, but only as subsidiaries.“The main courses must be agriculture, agronomy, botany, animal husbandry, forestry, fishery, plant entomology, breeding, cattle breed improvement, agric engineering, veterinary medicine,” he said

He said that the government is now trying to use academics to solve the problem of food security and will do that through innovations that are expected to come from these institutions. " We know many of our younger ones are not too keen on agriculture. It is not attractive enough, they claim. Do not worry about this, and other distractions.

“Attitudes will change because, undoubtedly, agriculture is a profitable business to those who choose the path of patience and endurance. They will come running once they see the prosperity and fulfillment in those who dare to try". He added.
