welcome address

Welcome! This is the Department of Agricultural and Environmental Engineering, Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile Ife. Established in 1970 primarily to run undergraduate programme leading to the award of B.Sc. (Agricultural Engineering), the Department started postgraduate programmes leading to the award of M.Sc. and Ph.D (Agricultural Engineering) in 1979. Our undergraduate programme has evolved under several curriculum reviews in response to challenges of food and fibre production and processing in sub-Saharan Africa. This led to a change of name to ‘Agricultural and Environmental Engineering’ in 2011. The Department has remain a ‘Centre of Excellence’ in agro-industrial innovations in Nigeria over the years. Our training is structured to position our graduates in various areas of agro-industrial concern globally. As you navigate through our webpage, I invite you to partner with us or visit us to explore the rich natural ambience of our University campus in the ancient city of Ile-Ife, Nigeria. Thank you.
