His Profile

Our Philosophy

The programme is designed for the award of degree at the end of the fourth year of study

The philosophy that guides the training of students in this department is the production of skilled manpower that is adequately furnished with the comprehensive information technological development in an environment characterized by scarcely qualified Mathematics, Statistics and Computer science teachers (relative to the growing population), vast and rapidly increasing materials resources but with very weak data production and information management system.

Vision & Mission

In line with the mission of the University which is to create a conducive environment for teaching, learning, research and building of good character, the Department ensures that students are exposed to best practices in the system. We also demonstrate the scientific, societal and economic relevance of our departmental research activities through publications to increase the institution’s visibility, status and value.
