The federal government has said
all 200 Level to final year students undergoing courses in agricultural related
disciplines must own a farm each.
The meeting which held at his
office in Abuja in the presence of the governing council members of federal
universities, The Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development, Chief Audu
Ogbeh on Tuesday said social sciences will soon be phased out from the academic
programmes of federal universities of agriculture in the country.
Federal Government has also
directed members of the governing councils of the universities to make it
mandatory that graduation from any of the agricultural based institutions
should be based on 60 per cent of practical work and 40 per cent theory.
He said, “The new agenda enjoins
you to be more innovative and enterprising. In the new dispensation, every
undergraduate must, and I repeat, must own a farm on campus from 200 Level.
Graduation should be based on 60 per cent on practice and 40 per cent theory.
“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.”
