AB  - &lt;p&gt;This study evaluated the proximate analysis of &lt;em&gt;Gmelina arborea &lt;/em&gt;leaf meal and seed meal. Fresh leaves and mature seed of &lt;em&gt;Gmelina arborea &lt;/em&gt;were collected from botanical gardens of the College’s compound. Proximate analysis of &lt;em&gt;Gmelina arborea &lt;/em&gt;was determined. Results revealed that proximate analysis of the leaf meal showed dry matter (97.09 ± 0.3%), crude protein (21.98 ± 0.13%), ether extract (2.01 ± 0.02%), crude fibre (8.05 ± 0.07%), Ash (6.10 ± 0.03%) and Nitrogen free extract (58.96 ± 0.00) while in seed meal dry matter (96.49 ± 0.11%), crude protein (6.49 ± 0.02%), ether extract (1.07 ± 0.02%), crude fibre (12.02 ± 0.16%), ash (5.48 ± 0.09%) and nitrogen free extract (71.44 ± 0.18%). The result of proximate composition showed that the leaf meal and seed meal of &lt;em&gt;Gmelina arborea &lt;/em&gt;had good protein content that is comparable with good sources of plant protein. It can be concluded &lt;em&gt;Gmelina arborea &lt;/em&gt;leaf and seed meals can be used as source of protein supplement to improve the production and performance of livestock animals.&lt;/p&gt;
