Welcome to the Department of Agricultural Technology

The National Diploma (ND) in Agricultural Technology Programme was approved by the National Board for Technical Education (NBTE) as an option in the Department of Agricultural and Bio environmental Engineering Technology in 2003. The ND Agricultural Technology option started with only one student in the 2004/2005 academic session.

Nine (9) students were admitted into the programme in the 2006/2007 academic session.  With increasing awareness of the existence of the programme, more applicants were admitted through JAMB and also via the pre-ND programme such that in the 2011/2012 academic session students enrolment rose to forty (40).

Agricultural Technology Option became a full-fledged Department in the 2012/2013 academic session by the Rector of the Polytechnic then, Engr. Dr. Shuaibu Musa who established the School of Agricultural Technology in July 2012.  With the employment of new staff, Agricultural Technology Department then had a total of sixteen (16) academic staff.  However, the sixteen academic staff in the department were later reduced to eight (8) following the establishment of the Departments of Forestry and Animal Health and Production and subsequent redeployment of staff from Agricultural Technology to the two new departments. Currently, the Department of Agricultural Technology runs National Diploma in Agricultural Technology and Diploma in Agricultural Technology respectively.
