About Us

The department of Civil Engineering started in the year 2017 with two lecturers namely, Engr. Ipindola O.O. The pioneer staff met regularly to design an operating structure and prepare for academic activity. In the year 2019, the department obtained resource accreditation, which was followed by the enrollment of its first set of students. Engr. Ipindola O.O. was appointed as the coordinator of the department in year 2020. In the same year, eight staff were added to the department. Of the additional number, six were fresh hires while two were redeployed from other departments.
