Brief History of the Department
Biochemistry Department originally operated as one of the pioneer programs under the Department of Biological Sciences, in the Faculty of Science in 2012. On February 10, 2016, the program metamorphosed into a full blown Department with Dr. Emmanuel. N. Agomuo as the pioneer head of Department, ever since the Department has grown in all ramifications. The department is well endowed with lecturers with enthusiasm for research, teaching, and community service who can always draw the lines and relate content to context for human and societal development.
