Department of Agricultural Administration

(AGAD)

Preamble

The Department of Agricultural Administration was established in 2009 as one of the four Departments in the College of Agricultural Management and Rural Development (COLAMRUD). The mandate of the Department is to teach and conduct research in all aspects of agricultural administration and to contribute to the development of our immediate environment.

The changing roles of higher education particularly universities in the growth and development of agriculture has raised awareness and concerns about the extent of her contributions to resolve developmental needs through pro-active administration. In addition to the technological know-how that the agricultural graduates must have, they also need sound knowledge of administrative processes to effectively execute their assignments.

Philosophy and Objectives

The primary philosophy of the Department of Agricultural Administration is the production of graduates with broad knowledge and skills of administration that will meet the new global challenges in agricultural and private institutions after graduation.

The objectives of the Programme are to:

  1. Produce graduates who will be useful to themselves, the public and the private sector;
  2. Collaborate with relevant organizations such as Administrative Staff College of Nigeria (ASCON), FUNAAB’s Institute of Human Resources Development (INHURD), Institute of Personnel Management, Nigeria Chartered Institute of Administration, Agricultural and Rural Management Training Institute (ARMTI), etc. for the development of agricultural administration studies; and
  3. Provide advisory and consultancy services in area of agricultural administration.
