B.Sc Industrial Chemistry seek to expose students to the broad area of theory and practice of the fundamental aspects of all branches of Chemistry. Modern Society requires an all round individual as a result of increasing interdependency of the sciences. The Department therefore aims to offer a thorough grounding in theoretical, experimental and operational aspects of Chemistry, as it relates to the Chemical Industry. This will enable Nigeria and Africa to have a new breed of well-trained high-level manpower that can apply Chemistry principles to national and international development. The use of modern analytical tools and their applications to the environment are equally emphasized. In a nutshell the Industrial Chemistry programme focuses on the search for and application of chemical knowledge to solving man’s problems.
Development of high caliber industrial chemists who will be equipped to man responsible industrial positions as well as self reliant ventures.
Chemists who will probe into the vast natural resources of Nigeria in order to accumulate relevant chemical data.
Chemists capable of pursuing postgraduate studies and research in Chemistry.
Chemists capable of collaborative efforts with other scientists in inter-disciplinary areas.
Chemists capable of utilizing chemical knowledge and skill in the service of developing national economy and improving man’s environment and his general well-being.
Train students to be result-oriented in the chemical, petrochemical, biochemical and allied technological fields
