On Thursday 7th August, 2025, a delegation from the Academic Staff Union of Colleges of Agriculture (ASUCA), led by its Chairman, Dr. Kenneth Ikijiefor Ogbu, paid a courtesy visit to the Permanent Secretary, Federal Ministry of Livestock Development, Dr. Chinyere Ijeoma Akujobi, to felicitate with her on her recent appointment and to seek her support in addressing critical challenges confronting the Federal College of Animal Health and Production Technology, Vom, Plateau State. During the visit, the Union highlighted key concerns, including the urgent need for the appointment of a Provost from among the qualified career staff of the College, the College’s continued exclusion from TETFund interventions, the necessity for increased budgetary allocation, the adoption of a new scheme of service to replace the outdated 2004 version, and the dire need for improved infrastructure to enhance teaching, learning, and research. In response, the Permanent Secretary appreciated the visit, assured the delegation that their concerns would be carefully looked into, and reaffirmed the Ministry's commitment to supporting institutions under its purview.
