Welcome to the Kano State Institute of Horticulture, Bagauda

It is my great pleasure to welcome you to the Kano State Institute of Horticulture, Bagauda. We are a premier institution dedicated to advancing the knowledge and practice of horticulture in Nigeria, striving always to meet the challenges of food security, environmental sustainability, and economic empowerment.

Our mission is deeply rooted in the philosophy of “Learn, Grow, Succeed.”

At our Institute, learning extends beyond textbooks and traditional classrooms. We provide hands-on training, innovative research opportunities, and practical demonstrations of cutting-edge techniques—from indigenous plant conservation to modern post-harvest handling methods designed specifically for smallholder farmers.

We are committed to nurturing growth—not just in the vital plants we conserve and study, but in our students, faculty, and the communities we serve. We believe that a greener Kano is a healthier, more prosperous Kano.

Ultimately, our goal is success: the success of our graduates as entrepreneurs, the success of our farmers in improving yields and market access, and the overall success of our region in building a resilient and sustainable agricultural future.

Whether you are a prospective student, a smallholder farmer seeking new techniques, a researcher, or a partner organization, we invite you to explore our website and discover the exciting work happening here at Bagauda.

Join us as we cultivate knowledge and seed success.
