Federal College of Horticultural Technology, Dadin Kowa, Gombe State is a research centre under the Agricultural Research Council of Nigeria Training of middle level manpower in Certificate and Vocational in Horticulture and Landscaping Technology. With regional governments formed after Nigeria achieved independence in 1960, research activities were regionalized, which eliminated federal government involvement.

These regional efforts, however, did not yield the expected results prompting the federal government to once again intervene in the 1960s, which was followed by major reorganization and expansion of research institutes in the 1970s and the Agricultural Research Council of Nigeria first came on board in 1977. The first ARCN along with other sectoral councils were abolished in 1977 and a Nigerian Science and Technology Development Agency established in their place.

Further changes came in with the Research Institutes Establishment Order in 1980, under which many research stations and departments were upgraded to national institutes. The research institutes underwent further significant reorganization, including review of their mandates as part of the green revolution programme of the early 1980s. The changes in coordination continued under the military regimes.

But in 1992, the need to re-align agric research to the federal ministry of agriculture was accepted by government and the Agricultural Sciences Department along with the fifteen agricultural research institutes were formally returned to be fully integrated into their sectors.
