Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta

The Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta is one of the three federal universities of agriculture created by Nigeria’s government in 1988. It moved to its present location, a 10,000 hectare site 10 miles outside of the city of Abeokuta, capital of Ogun state, in 1997.

It is divided into colleges of environmental research management, animal science and livestock production, agricultural management and rural development, plant science and crop production, biological science, food science and human ecology, engineering, physical science, and veterinary medicine.

The Veterinary School was created in 2005 on the Isale-Igbein mini-campus to enable local access, and was extended by the opening of the veterinary hospital in 2014. There are plans for two more rural satellite veterinary clinics.

There are a range of facilities on campus including a sport centre, the health centre, biotechnology centre, a radio station, bank and zoo park.
