The School of Agriculture and Biotechnology was established in 1991 as a graduate faculty with the specific objective of training highly skilled manpower in Agricultural Research, Production and Extension. At inception, four departments were established namely; Soil Science, Crop Production and Seed Technology, Agricultural marketing and Cooperatives and Rural Engineering.

Over the years, the Faculty has undergone tremendous developmental changes. In 1998 the school established an undergraduate program in B.Sc. in Horticulture and admitted a cohort of 13 pioneer students. Later, other Undergraduate Programmes namely, B.Sc. in Agriculture and B.Sc. in Agricultural Resource Economics and Management were established.
