HISTORY AND PHILOSOPHY

The Department of Civil Engineering was established in October, 1990, with the initial objective to train first degree students to be qualified in various fields of Civil Engineering  who would serve in public and private sectors of our economy.

This was done to meet the need for qualified specialists in both the construction industry and in institutions  of higher learning.  The department started with a population of one staff and seven students.  Presently, the department has seven academic and five non-academic staff and a total of 206 students in population.  Further more, the admission number has been fixed between 40 and 50 annually based on the staff strength and availability of facilities. It is also the outmost desire of the department to produce self reliant  engineers to help cut down on job scarcity.

The vision of the department is to create the best well equipped Civil Engineering set-up in the country so as to attract even the foreign based professionals to help train quality and prosperous engineers.
