The department of geography and environmental management operates a Postgraduate Diploma, M.Sc.and PhD in Environmental Management was approved by Senate and also the Department went through series of Accreditation exercises which gave rise to an increase in infrastructural facilities i.e. Physical Laboratories, Remote Sensing Laboratories and the establishment of the M.Sc. programme in Disaster Management in March 2009 sponsored by National Emergency Management Authority (NEMA). Currently, the Nigerian Meteorological Agency (NIMET) in conjunction with The Nigerian Hydrological Services has established the state-of-the-art Automatic Weather Station which is to be Geo-referenced by the World Meteorological Organisation (W.M.O) and NIMET Headquarters in Abuja. The departments mission The Department has always had a mission, which is to contribute meaningfully in the resolution of a variety of issues that are of great importance to man. Our vision is to be relevant to the society. This is why at the first –degree level, we try to design and execute a programme that leads to the grooming of middle – cadre man-power for ministries, industries, oil companies and other environmental establishments. At the post-graduate level, our programmes are basically designed to groom high-cadre professionals for the academia as well as for other associated society and that was what informed our vision of changing our initial departmental name from the Department of Geography to the Department of Geography and Environmental Management. Judging from the level of intellectual stimulation among our academic staff and the number and quality of their publications, one can confidentially say that the Department of Geography and Environmental Management is very alive to her vision and mission. Essentially, the basic objectives of the programme in Geography and Environmental Management among others are: To give students a sound knowledge of the principles of spatial organization of natural and human phenomena on the earth’s surface, To make students appreciate the nature and distribution of natural resources and the impact of these on human activities, To equip students with suitable analytical and technical skills required for tackling the problems of spatial development, To stimulate an awareness for imbibing the necessary skills for environmental conservations, restoration and sustainability and To enable students to specialize in areas relevant to national development, particularly environmental management while expecting them to specialised in Rural, Urban and Regional Planning, Biogeography, Geographic Techniques/Applications – Cartography, Remote Sensing and GIS., Hydrology, and Watershed Management, Geomorphology, Climatology, and Environmental Impact Assessment. The department of geology host an MSC and PhD specialty in environmental geology, sedimentology, paleoclimate and climate variations.
