The Audu Bako School of Agriculture in Dambatta, Kano State,[1] Nigeria, awards diplomas in technical and vocational subjects for middle-level manpower. It is named after Audu Bako, a former governor of the state.[2]
The college was established in 2002 and is owned and operated by Kano State. It is accredited to offer courses in agricultural and related technology, and a pre-ND course in Science and Technology.[3] In 2005 the college had over 400 students.[4] As of 2023, the college had over 300 staff, and offered over 500 courses and over 50 programmes. It also has 12 departments.[5]
In November 2006, it was among a number of polytechnics for which the National Board for Technical Education suspended admission of students for either failing to secure accreditation or running foul of the law.[citation needed]
The College of Agriculture currently has only one faculty (Faculty of Agriculture) with only four programmes. These programmes include agricultural engineering/technology, agricultural technology, animal health and production technology and forestry technology.[6][7]
According to its official website, the school has 12 departments.[8][9]
