dc.description.abstractThe Dundee Ready Educational Environment Measure was used as a universal diagnostic inventory to assess the educational environment of Agricultural Degree Programme of the selected institutions. A logistic regression model, which assumes the probability of respondents' preference for the choice of Agribusiness as a career, was deployed to achieve some objectives of the study. Multiple Analysis of Variance (MANOVA) and T-Test were also used. The study revealed that majority of the students were trapped below the poverty threshold, with only 27% willing to pursue agribusiness as a career. Although there was evidence of more positive than negative perceptions about their educational environment (50%–87.4%), there were indications that all the indicators captured in the subscales need a lot of improvement (<88%). Similarly, the study found that students’ perceptions of their learning environment, learning atmosphere, quality of teaching, and ease of the course of study have a significant influence on their choice of agribusiness as a career. The study recommends that there must be deliberate efforts to improve the quality of learning by developing tailor-made agribusiness education, quality of teachers, quality of the academic atmosphere, and scholarship for highflyers among the students to increase their participation in agribusiness.
