Located along Ganmo – Amoyo Highway, the Poultry Farm, an intervention programme under the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), is part of the University of Ilorin’s commitment towards playing a key role in the agro-based business and further contribute to the revival of the poultry sub-sector in the country.
