The students’ Handbook is a guide for the Bachelor of Science degree in the Department of Industrial Chemistry at the Federal University Lokoja. It contains information about the University in general, and the Department, in particular. It is hoped that students would find the Handbook useful as a primary reference for consultation from time to time, to ensure that they are in good academic standing, and that they meet all requirements for graduation at the end of the 4-year study.
The primary vision of the Department is to produce well trained graduates in Industrial Chemistry that would propel the nation forward economically via proper manning of our chemical and allied industries. This, we hope to achieve via a crop of expert industrial chemists and a well-structured curriculum that covers theory, practical and industrial training during the course of the programme.
Our students are encouraged to read this Handbook along with the University Students’ Handbook, so that they can have a hitch free period of study at the Federal University Lokoja.
On behalf of all members of the academic, the technical and the administrative staff of the Department, I welcome you to the Department of Industrial Chemistry.

Benjamin M. Dauda
Professor & Head of Department
