HISTORY AND PHILOSOPHY
 The challenges of the Department of Geology are enormous. These include
fulfilling the expected roles in the national drive to increasing proven
oil and gas reserves; developing metallic, non-metallic and construction
materials, promoting water supplies, harnessing alternative energy sources,
intensifying environmental monitoring, ensuring reliable foundations,
pavements and buildings and enhancing agricultural yields.
Furthermore,
thorough schemes for generating employments and improving living conditions,
especially in the rural areas, as well as the provision of high quality
training for relevant professionals, experts and researchers certainly
demands an efficient and well organized Geology Department.

ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS
The objective of the department is to offer a professional course leading
to the award of a B. Tech. Degree in Geology. This professional degree
may be obtained either through the 5-year standard schedule for candidates
who gain admission through the University Matriculation EXAMINATION
(U.M.E) or 4 years schedule for candidates who gain admission through
the direct entry. In either case, students are required in the first
and second year of the programme to complete foundation courses
in Mathematic, Statistics, Computer science, Physics, Chemistry and
Biology to enhance their comprehension of the courses in the programme.
