Niger State Proposes Establishment of Abdulsalami Abubakar University of Agriculture

The Niger State House of Assembly has passed a significant resolution to establish a new State University of Agriculture, which is expected to be named Abdulsalami Abubakar University of Agriculture. This initiative aims to enhance agricultural education in the region, particularly for the residents of Zone A, where political representation has come into question regarding Governor Bago.

The proposed university would elevate the Niger State College of Agriculture in Mokwa to a full-fledged university, providing more opportunities for students in agricultural studies. This move follows ongoing discussions within the House, highlighting the importance of expanding educational institutions in Niger State.

The House Education Committee has underscored the necessity of obtaining Governor Bago's assent for this conversion to proceed. As this initiative progresses, many citizens are keenly observing how the governor will respond to this pivotal educational reform, hoping for positive developments that could enhance the state’s agricultural education landscape.
