Governor of Kogi state,Alhaji Yahaya Bello, recently approached the Kogi State Assembly with a Bill to decentralize the Kogi State University. The two arms of government are working in unison to make this laudable proposal a reality.
H said " Today Kogi State citizens do not have the benefit of studying any Engineering or Technology course in Kogi State University. Each year, many otherwise qualified candidates from Kogi State have to forego their preferred courses or downgrade their study expectations.
The Bill tends to reduce the incidence of this by providing for a School of Engineering and Technology in Kogi Central.
Today Agriculture has taken center stage and will continue to dominate the continental sphere as for many years to come.
Kogi State has comparative advantages in Agriculture including vast arable lands and water for aquaculture and specialised agro-businesses like hydroponics. A school of Agriculture with all its economies which is billed to be sited in Kogi West, will broaden the field of manpower for agriculture in Kogi State.
There are no plans to move existing faculties out of the current campus except as may be required to put round pegs in round holes in view of the proposed new campuses.
All the professional courses will most likely remain 'as is' at Anyigba Campus, namely Medical, Law, Arts, Education,Social,Humanities and Natural Sciences. It goes without saying that anyone who is interested in the broad-based development of Kogi State and not blinded by myopic considerations should applaud this initiative.
