The socio-economic conditions of the country require that students pursue programmes that will meet their aspirations and future academic and professional development. The current programme does not provide sufficient course content for the student to be competitive enough. In order to make the products of the Department compete favourably with their counter-parts from sister universities, it has become imperative to review the Environmental Science programme offered by the Department.
