  2. Vast marketing platforms that include face-to-face, the college Bulk SMS, emails, Official Facebook page, Website, Mass Media and E-Citizen platform. With the onset of COVID-19, most face-to-face activities were minimized. The online platforms served as better alternatives to communicating College information effectively.

About

Bukura Agricultural College grew from the former Bukura Institute in 1974 under the Ministry of Agriculture with the mandate of offering certificate courses in Agriculture. In 1992, the Institute’s status was upgraded from awarding certificate courses to awarding Diploma courses in Agriculture and renamed Bukura Agricultural College (BAC). Following the enactment of the Bukura Agricultural College Act, Cap.348 of 1999, BAC became a state corporation under the then Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries. The College is currently operating as a State Corporation under the Ministry of Agriculture and Irrigation.
