In the late ’70s it became clear that our dependence on oil revenue to the neglect of agricultural development was unreliable for national economic and social development. The Federal Government of Nigeria then pumped a lot of money into reviving agricultural activities and productivity in Nigeria. However, it was soon realized that the huge investments in agriculture would not yield the desired results because of an acute shortage of manpower with requisite managerial skills and capability.
Consequently, an institute to train and develop the required manpower to manage the many agricultural and rural development projects existing and being planned, became a necessity. In 1980, with the assistance of a World Bank loan, ARMTI was established to satisfy this need.
ARMTI has a mission to identify and analyze management problems/needs and develop appropriate interventions to improve managerial practice in the Agricultural and Rural Sector
The main objectives of ARMTI are to:-
- Provide management training;
- Provide consultancy and advisory services;
- Conduct applied management research, special and diagnostic studies;
- Disseminate agricultural and rural information; and
- Contribute to policy development which would enhance better management of the agricultural and rural sector in Nigeria.
