College of Agriculture, Iguoriakhi
Edo State College of Agriculture and Natural Resources, Iguoriakhi is a state-owned institution located at Ovia South-West Local Government Area of Edo State. The institution was established by the civilian administration of late Ambrose Alli in 1981, closed by the military governors and reopened by the Lucky Igbinedion administration in 2001.[1]
The school charged with the responsibility of offering Ordinary Diploma and Higher National Diploma in Agricultural Technology, Animal Science, Crop Science, Agricultural Extension and Management.
