GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE COLLEGE
Location
The College is located in Vom, a quiet rocky village in Plateau State, and situated 1,285
metres above sea level. The nearest towns are Bukuru and Jos and 24 kilometres to the
north-east respectively.
Largely because of its altitude and constant winds, Vom has a remarkably coll climate. In
December and January, the nights may be extremely cold. The wet season extends from late
April to middle October.
1.2
Brief History of the College.
The College was established in 1941, as Veterinary School, Vom, with a total of ten
students. Some of these students registered for Veterinary Assistants (Junior Course),
Veterinary Assistants (Senior Course) and others as Veterinary Officers.
The School has the credit of being the first Higher Institution in West Africa to produce
graduate Veterinary Surgeons long before the first University was established in Nigeria, at
Ibadan in 1948. The school also played a key role, especially between 1947 and 1962, in
training middle level veterinary manpower for other African Countries, notably the
Cameroons, Liberia, Ghana, Sierra Leone, Gambia, Ethiopia and Sudan.
On establishment of University College at Ibadan, it was recommended that the higher
training to the Veterinary Officers’ level be consigned to the University. Consequently, the
Veterinary School, Vom, discontinued the Veterinary Officers’ course in June, 1950, and
thereafter concentrated entirely on running only one course, namely a 2 year Veterinary
Assistants’ Course. In March, 1980, the Veterinary School was formally accorded a college
status and renamed College of Animal Health and Husbandry with a mandate to award
Ordinary and Higher Diplomas.
With the establishment of the National Board for Technical Education (NBTE) by the
Federal Military Government of Nigeria, and the subsequent accreditation visitation to the
College in 1983, the diploma programmes were suspended in 1988. However, with the
approval granted the College by the NBTE in 1989 and 1992, for National Diploma (ND)
programmes in Animal Health and Production and the Higher National Diploma (HND) in
Animal Health Technology respectively new sets of students were enrolled. It will be
mentioned that the College was again renamed the Federal College of Animal Health and
Production Technology on the 29th January, 1991.
Presently, the College offers in addition to the Diploma programmes, all the programmes
listed in 2.1.0 below. All the programmes of the College have been granted full
accreditation by the NBTE.
1.3
Decree Establishing the College
The National Science and Technology Amendment Decree No. 46 of 30th December, 1990,
give legal backing to the Research Institute to conduct training for the technicians and
technologists for the award of National Diploma (ND), Higher National Diploma (HND)
and Certificates.
