By Martins Abochol, Jalingo.

Prof. Sunday Bako, the Vice-Chancellor of Taraba State University, Jalingo, says the institution will establish an integrated farm that will provide model ranch operations.

He disclosed this indication while interacting with journalists in Jalingo.

Bako that the integrated farm, when completed, would produce some of the farm products that were locally consumed in the state.

He said that the university had engaged experts for the farm project, which would create employment opportunities and revenue for the university.

“We have already begun modalities to establish an integrated farm for the university.

“This farm, among many others things, will comprise a model ranch operation where it can produce pastures.

“The farm will produce animal feeds, especially for poultry and fish.

“This farm will also make available most of those agricultural products we consume locally,” he said.

Bako said that he would not relent on his efforts to attain his goal of making the university a world-class citadel of learning.
