Welcome : Department of Forest Resource Management

HOD’s Address

I would like to welcome all of you, new and returning students, to the University and the Department of Forest Resources Management. This Department is the oldest of its type in Africa. We are proud of the quality of graduates and forestry professionals that we produce. In spite of the dwindling financial resources of the University, we continue to maintain high academic standards. More importantly, the staff and students together interact as a family in pursuit of our common goals of academic achievement and professional excellence. The dawn of a new millennium and the positive changes in the political horizon of Nigeria have strengthened our hopes and challenged us to attain greater heights.

This brochure is an attempt to provide a single source of information which is handy and will answer most of the questions which students (both old and new) commonly ask. It is valuable for the equal access to vital information on both academic and non-academic questions which it gives to the students some of whom may be too shy or have no time to approach staff concerned. Also many new students and some old ones do not know all the types of information they need to prepare for their academic programmes.

This brochure has necessarily been prepared for both undergraduate and postgraduate students. It may not be complete in all respects. You should therefore feel free to seek information and help from relevant quarters in the Department for any peculiar problems you may have. The presentation of the brochure has been dictated by the harsh economic realities prevailing in Nigeria.

I wish you a happy and rewarding student career in the Department.

Dr. Adebola O. Adegeye

Ag. Head of Department.
