School of Pure and Applied Science

HISTORY

The School of Pure and Applied Sciences (SPAS) is the oldest school in the University.  It was established at the inception of the University in 1981, and was then known as School of Sciences with four (4) departments viz: - Biological Sciences, Chemistry, Mathematics/Statistics and Physics.  This arrangement existed till June 1984 when the University was merged with the University of Maiduguri under the name of Modibbo Adama College.

With the the merger in January 1988, the name of the School was changed to the School of Science and Technology Education (SSTE), and a new department, Technology Education was now created and added to the existing four making a total of five departments.  The number of departments rose to six during the 1989/90 session when the Department of Geology originally located in School of Environmental Sciences (SES) was moved to SSTE.

The Departments of Biochemistry and Microbiology came into existence in the 1996/97 session.  Hitherto, they were programmes in the then Department of Biological Sciences.

In September 1998, the then Mathematics, Statistics and Operations Research Department was split into Mathematics and Computer Science Department and Statistics and Operations Research Department bringing the total number of departments in the School to nine.

At the end of the 1998/99 session, School of Science and Technology Education was now split into two; i.e. School of Technology and Science Education (STSE) and School of Pure and Applied Sciences (SPAS). With this split eight departments now remained in the school.

PHILOSOPHY

There is no doubt that pure science is the bedrock of all technologies; whether copied, adopted or developed.  Therefore, the mission of the school in the new millennium will remain the training of persons in the various disciplines in the school who will acquire scientific and professional skills and who in turn will be professionally competent and contribute to the development of the Nigerian economy.  The skills our graduate will posses will make them self reliant, create jobs and provide services rather than depend on government for employment.

Our vision as a School is contained in the motto of the Federal University of Technology which is: Technology for Development.  Our vision is to carry through the molecular approach to understanding, to  solve problems and make our environment a better and healthier place to live in.
