It is my honor to welcome you to the Federal College of Agriculture, Ibadan, a trailblazing institution in West Africa’s agricultural landscape. With a legacy spanning over a century, our college has been at the forefront of agricultural innovation and development since its inception in 1899 as a model farm and its subsequent establishment as the School of Agriculture in 1921.
At FCA, Ibadan, we are passionate about empowering the next generation of agricultural leaders and innovators. Our National Diploma (ND) and Higher National Diploma (HND) programs, complemented by specialized/vocational trainings and short courses, equip students with the theoretical knowledge and practical skills necessary to excel in today’s dynamic agricultural sector.
Our institution offers a diverse range of 25 accredited academic programs at ND and HND levels, including flexible part-time programs designed for individuals with busy schedules. FCA, Ibadan is committed to realizing the vision of our supervisory agencies and the Federal Government, playing a pivotal role in driving Nigeria’s agricultural development.
In addition to our continued strife for excellence, the college is about to commence a degree programme in affiliation with Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta (FUNAAB) making it one of the first monotechnics in Nigeria to attain such feat.
Beyond the classroom, our college is actively engaged in pioneering research, designing modern farm equipment, and hosting agricultural exhibitions. Our outreach initiatives bring sustainable farming practices to local communities, while our sports and extracurricular activities nurture teamwork and leadership skills among our students.
I therefore extend an invitation to aspiring agropreneurs, professionals seeking to enhance their skills, and anyone passionate about sustainable food systems to join us in our mission to develop a new generation of skilled agricultural professionals. I encourage prospective students and the public to visit our website at www.fcaib.edu.ng to learn more about our mandate, vision, and achievements.
With faith and determination, we can achieve greatness.
Long live the Federal College of Agriculture, Ibadan!
Long live the Federal Republic of Nigeria!
