The College, established in 2014 with focus on  mid- level man power development in the agric sector, had been neglected by the immediate past administration in the state.

Fayemi, who was named the Asiwaju Oluomo of Isan Kingdom and presented an award of excellence for his contribution to the infrastructure development of the town, said the agric sector, when fully developed, would provide job opportunities for the unemployed youth in addition to food suplus.
