Ongoing recruitment of staff into the Edo College of Agriculture and Natural Resources is part of many steps taken by the Governor Godwin Obaseki-led administration to reposition the institution in order to develop the needed manpower to drive the government’s robust agriculture-based economy, according to Edo State Government.
Acting Permanent Secretary, Edo State Ministry of Agriculture and Natural Resources, Mr. Peter Aikhuomobhogbe Uidia, in a statement, explained that the recruitment exercise is part of the ongoing reforms in the agriculture sector, which is a pillar in the governor’s Making Edo Great Again (MEGA) agenda.
Uidia maintained that the government is committed to repositioning the school as a foremost agricultural college in Nigeria that is purpose-built to provide critical manpower and expertise to support its revolutionary direction in agriculture.
