Our students are drawn from all over Nigeria and we also have very many students from West African Countries and some students from other countries in the World. We have a very rich seminar session in the Department every Wednesday where Postgraduate students and other staff of the Department showcase their research contributions. The Seminar session makes the Department very lively in academic activities and I urge all of you to participate fully in all such academic activities. Every undergraduate student has his/her level coordinator and the Postgraduate students have the Postgraduate coordinator or his assistants who guide them on all matters regarding their academic Programmes.
Finally, I invite all of you to explore more on the academic and other activities in the Department and feel free to contact any of your coordinators or the Head of Department whenever the need arises, and I wish all of you the best.
