About Federal College of Agriculture, Moor-Plantation, Ibadan

The Federal College of Agriculture, Ibadan (FCAIB), formerly the School of Agriculture, was established in 1921 at Moor Plantation, Ibadan, Oyo State, and is described by the college as the first agricultural institution in Nigeria and West Africa. Its motto is "Agricultural Education for Self Reliance", and its mission is to contribute to Nigeria's agricultural goals through quality education and the production of middle-level manpower who can serve as extension agents in ministries of agriculture, work in agro-allied industries or set up their own agricultural enterprises.

The college is a federal monotechnic that awards National Diplomas (ND) and Higher National Diplomas (HND), with part-time ND options and pre-degree routes. Since 2025 it also offers B.Sc. programmes in affiliation with the Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta (FUNAAB), which awards the degrees. B.Sc. programmes include Agricultural Economics, Animal Science, Crop Science, Soil Science and Agricultural Extension.

Academic work is organised in five schools: the School of Agriculture (Agricultural Technology, Crop Production, Pest Management, Horticultural Technology, Animal Production Technology, Organic Agricultural Technology); the School of Engineering Technology (Agricultural and Bio-Environmental Engineering Technology, Farm Power and Machinery, Computer Science, Post Harvest Technology, Soil and Water Engineering); the School of Agricultural Management and Vocational Studies (Agribusiness Management, Cooperative Economics and Management, Agricultural Extension and Management, Home and Rural Economics); the School of Basic Studies and Media Technology (General Studies, Library and Information Science, Multimedia Technology, Office Technology and Management); and the School of Applied Science and Technology (Science Laboratory Technology, Microbiology, Food Technology).

The campus sits within the historic Moor Plantation, whose farmland supports practical training through farms and laboratories, and students complete industrial training as part of their diploma programmes. Programmes are accredited by the National Board for Technical Education (NBTE). Pathway options for applicants who need further preparation include an IJMB programme, which leads to direct entry at 200 level in Nigerian universities, and a remedial programme for improving O'Level results before ND study.

Student groups include the Students' Union Government (SUG) and an alumni association, and the college runs a SERVICOM unit for service delivery feedback.
