AGRICULTURE & MINERALS RESOURCES PLANNING

Agriculture and mineral resources have been global economic phenomenon from ancient history. The demand for food/agricultural produce and minerals has grown rapidly across the world over thousands of years. Agriculture and Minerals resources constitute the economic mainstay of many countries. Increasing public concern about the acute state of food security in a starving world has been growing louder by the day. This faculty seeks to attract attention to the nature and characteristics of the failed agricultural and Mining Industry in most countries, to arouse interest to explore how the industries can be better planned marketed, and well managed.

Designed for
People who want to exploit the opportunities in the agriculture and mining industries, particularly, in management or planning positions in both public and private sectors, to restore the prime status of agriculture as the nation’s mainstay. It will be very rewarding to planners who wish to offer professional services to meet the increasing demands expected from the new emphasis on agriculture and mining.

Aims
To provide professional training and solid intellectual base, to deepen knowledge and develop skills built upon current techniques and state of the art in planning and plan implementation; and to open new doors of opportunities to develop expertise in planning for agriculture and mining, which has remained largely unexplored.

Objectives
The programme seeks to produce highly competent planning professionals who possess the requisite knowledge, skills and competence to excel in commercial activities in agriculture and mining, either as professional planning service providers or as investors and/or executives.
