FOREWORD BY THE COLLEGE DEAN
The College of Business and Social Sciences was one of the two
Colleges the University started with in October 2005. The programmes
in the College were grouped under two Departments, Social Sciences
and Administration.
When the University started, there were only 156 students in all the
programmes in the College. This has increased to 915 during the current
session. At the beginning of 2009/2010 session, the programmes in the
College were arranged into four Departments. These are Economics,
Accounting and Finance; Management Studies; Political Science and
International Relations; and Sociology and Industrial Relations and
Personnel Management. Our Programmes are regularly updated to take
account of new innovations and developments in the various
disciplines.
The College currently runs B.Sc Degree programmes in Accounting;
Banking and Finance; Business Administration; Economics; Industrial
Relations and Personnel Management, Marketing; Political Science and
International Relations; and Sociology.
The College has now graduated three sets of students. Many of our
graduates are establishing themselves and are making waves in their
various chosen careers. Some are pursuing postgraduate programmes in
reputable Universities in Nigeria, Europe North America and South
America. We intend to run postgraduate programmes in some
disciplines as soon as the University enters into its second phase of the
development
