Philosophy & Objective

Philosophy

Biochemistry is an inter-disciplinary science. Our vision is to ensure that our students have adequate knowledge and practical skills in various aspects of the discipline of Biochemistry. This is to enable them perform effectively and efficiently through application of their knowledge and skills in various sectors of the economy like Food Industries, Breweries, Beverage producing industries, Water and Waste water treatment plants, Research Institution, Hospitals and many others. Their exposure to entrepreneurial training would make them self-employable and become employer of labour for the socio-economic emancipation of mankind. The Biochemistry programme aims at producing graduate biochemists who are not only equipped with knowledge in all modern aspects of the discipline but are also capable of providing solutions to Biochemistry related problems in Nigeria and the world at large.
