HISTORY AND PHILOSOPHY
Below is
a brief history of the department. The programme, Food Science and
Technology, was established in 1990/91 session under the then School of
Engineering and Engineering Technology. However, the programme was
transferred to the School of Agriculture and Agricultural Technology in
1995/96 session in line with the practice in some other Universities.
The programme started with only two (2) student enrolment with an
academic staff strength of two (2) together with one (1) technologist.
The two (2) pioneering students had since passed out in 1993/94 session.
The
Department is presently having six (6) academic staff, two (2)
Technologists and one (1) Laboratory Assistant; with forty-four (44)
registered students.
