Edo State Governor Monday Okpebholo has signed into law the bill establishing the Edo State College of Agriculture, Science and Technology. The executive signing establishes a specialized, statutory academic institution dedicated to modernizing agricultural education, developing scientific farming curriculums, and equipping youth cohorts with advanced technical skills in line with global best practices.
Traditional, non-mechanized farming methods often yield low productivity, leaving the state vulnerable to food price inflation and high youth unemployment. Establishing a dedicated, technology-driven agricultural college allows the state to train young people in precision farming, smart irrigation, and modern food-processing technologies. This educational pipeline directly supports the state's food security objectives, creates high-value jobs, and attracts private agro-allied investments.
This legislative enactment highlights a highly strategic, policy-driven approach to human capital development, agricultural reform, and subnational economic planning under the SHINE Agenda. By backing agricultural development with a formal legal framework, the administration ensures long-term funding stability and institutional permanence for agricultural education.
