I study HND Animal Production in College. College of Agriculture, Lafia is highly under estimated. I have been involved in International Agriculture in the last 10 years and most of what i practice and teach are the skills i learnt from the College. In fact, even at PhD level, most of the skills taught at the College still applies.

College of Agriculture, Lafia played a very vital role in my life. My Academic foundation was developed from College of Agriculture, Lafia. In my days in College, discipline was seriously one of the major instruments for that was used to mould my life. The idea of character and learning was obvious the way we were taught and trained. Where i am going and where i am today can not be divorced from my experience at College of Agriculture, Lafia.

Among the most important institutions in the revolutionary development of agriculture over the last 50 years are the colleges of agriculture. As brain centre for agricultural progress, they provided with their research efforts the scientific knowledge base, their training increased the quality of the human agent of production, and in many cases; their extension activities brought new knowledge down to the peasants.

The college houses 4 schools, 10 Departments and 17 programmes, plus an exploratory/undeclared option in the field of agriculture, environment, human and rural economic.

For over 40 years College of Agriculture, Lafia has been a leader in agricultural education and research in the nation and around the world.
