DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT AND
TOXICOLOGY
Preamble
The Department of Environmental Management and Toxicology, being the first of its
kind in Nigeria, was established in 1989 to provide skilled manpower trained
specifically for environmental surveillance, monitoring and management as against
the present practice where these tasks were performed by people trained in basic and
applied sciences.
The academic programme in the Department is designed to provide the training

needed for an understanding of the environment and to build upon this foundation by
exploring in some depths, specific aspects such as resource depletion, recycling, re-use
and the impact of science and technology on the environment.
The Department has trained about six hundred students to date. Many of the students
are working in government establishments, industries and others have gone for their
post graduate programmes at home and abroad.
The programme ranks among the most sought-for in the University because of
increased public awareness to environmental matters. There is also increased
collaboration between the Department and Environmental related Agencies such as
FEPA, OGEPA and other non-governmental organizations.
Philosophy
The philosophy of the programme is the training of personnel from a wide range of
disciplines and backgrounds, to the highest academic standards in the identification
and resolution of environmental issues.
Objectives
1. To train well-equipped personnel to meet the challenge of the environment.
2. To produce highest quality research and teaching.
3. To give sound advice on environmental matters.
The academic programme in the Department of Environmental Resources

Management and Toxicology is designed to provide the training needed for an
understanding of the environment and to build upon this foundation by exploring in
some depths, specific aspects such as resource depletion recycling, re-use and the
impact of Science and Technology on the environment.

The programme is designed such that a graduate of the Department will be well
equipped to meet the challenges of the environment and it is hoped that such
graduates will constitute the work force for the government's Environmental
Protection Programme. The programme will run for duration of five years out of which
the second semester of the fourth year will be spent in relevant Industrial/
Employment attachments.

DEPARTMENT OF FORESTRY AND
WILDLIFE MANAGEMENT
Preamble
The Department of Forestry, Fisheries and Wildlife Management was one of the
earliest departments created when the University of Agriculture, Abeokuta came into
being in January 1988. On October 1, 1994, the Department of Forestry and Wildlife
Management was carved out of the old Forestry, Fisheries and Wildlife Management
Department.
The Department specializes and vigorously pursues eight sub-units:
i. Forest Biology and Silviculture
ii. Forest Economics and Management
iii. Biometrics and Remote Sensing
iv. Wood Science
v. Wildlife Management
vi. Wildlife Ecology and Conservation
vii. Wildlife Domestication and Production
viii. Park Interpretation and Wildlife Extension
The Department now runs a 5-year Bachelor's degree programme in Forestry and
Wildlife Management. The postgraduate degree programme at Masters and Ph.D.
levels started in 1992. The Department thereby, has consolidated the gains of the first
degree with the inception of the postgraduate programme.
Philosophy
The primary philosophy that guides the training of students is the production of skilled
manpower that is adequately furnished with the comprehensive information required,
for engaging in Forestry and Wildlife management in an environment characterized by
rural setting and adequate land endowment. Such knowledgeable professional
manpower has to be produced in an atmosphere with the widest possible human and
material resources, through the adoption of effective techniques of instruction, and
exposure to the actual practice of forestry. Consequently, there are opportunities for
formal training at the Undergraduate and postgraduate levels for the acquisition of
basic and higher degrees respectively.
These training programmes are mounted through classroom instruction, laboratory
practical, field demonstration, and workshop practice.
The Objectives of the Programme
(i) To produce graduates with sufficient practical background to create

employment from utilisation of Forest and Wildlife Resources. The graduates
are also expected to be able to undertake local sourcing of industrial raw
materials, to produce animal protein through demonstration and ranching of
farm wildlife and also engage in Food production through Agroforestry.

DEPARTMENT OF FOOD SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY
The Department of Food Science and Technology was established in 1983 as one of the
programmes of the then Federal University of Technology, Abeokuta (FUTAB). It is one
of the programmes that survived the various transitions prior to the establishment of
the University of Agriculture, in 1988. Today, the department of Food Science and
Technology is one of the four Departments in the College of Food Science and Human
Ecology (COLFHEC). The department offers programmes leading to the award of
Bachelors, Masters and Doctoral degrees in various areas of Food Science and
Technology.
Philosophy and Objectives

The economic well-being of Nigerians requires that food processing sector must
produce enough high quality food products, especially during the off-peak seasons
and distribute them at competitive prices to a rapidly growing population. The correct
choice and application of appropriate technology is vital to reduction of post-harvest
losses, processing, preservation and storage. Food processing, storage and
preservation therefore represent an important linkage to agriculture which must not
be ignored.
The field of Food Science and Technology is based on a spectrum of fundamental

aspects of basic sciences (Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry and Biology), with a broad
background in engineering applications (thermodynamics, unit operations in food
processing, fluid flow behaviour, equipment design and maintenance). The study of
