BENUE STATE COLLEGE OF HEALTH TECHNOLOGY, AGASHA

BRIEF HISTORY OF THE COLLEGE

The Benue State College of Health Technology, Agasha was established in 1992, by the Benue State Government following the creation of Kogi State out of Benue State in 1991 in which Benue State lost its School of Health Technology to Kogi State due to sharing of assets. The school started temporarily at the State School of Nursing Campus in Makurdi before being moved to its permanent site at Agasha in September 2006. Today, the College is among the best State Colleges of Health Technology in Nigeria with sufficient land mass to accommodate ultra-modern well-structured classrooms, laboratories, examination halls, computer laboratories with Internet facilities, and a state-of-the art library to provide comfort for research and learning. The reputation of the College derives from the qualifications and dynamism of its staff, and is reflected in the quality of its graduates who are at the commanding heights of primary health care services. The College particularly prides itself on its unique peaceful atmosphere right from inception; an accelerated growth and development witnessed from its establishment. The culture of the campus is therefore tolerant within the bound of common decency.

From a modest beginning of only one department, the College now boasts of eight Academic Departments namely:

  1. Community Health Department
  2. Environmental Health Department
  3. Medical laboratory Science Department
  4. Pharmacy Technician Department
  5. Basic Science Department
  6. Public Health Department
  7. Epidemiology and Disease Control Department
  8.  General Studies Department
