The University of Agriculture, Abeokuta was established by the Federal Government in January 1988 with the mandate of Teaching, Research and Extension Services.

 

The College of Natural Sciences was thus established for the first-year foundation training of all the students in the basic sciences and the B.Sc degree programme in the sciences.

 

The Department of Chemical Sciences, established in 1988 was later changed to the Department of Chemistry in 2001. The B.Sc degree programme has graduated seventeen (17) sets of students. Our graduates have joined the pool of trained manpower in the labour market, contributing to the development of the country. Five of our graduates are currently members of the Academic Staff and one Technical Staff in the department.

 

The Academic Staff strength has increased, over the years to seventeen full time, one Associate Lecturer and a Junior Research Fellow.

 

Late Dr. A.A. Yusuf was the first Ph.D student graduated from the Department of Chemistry in September, 2007.
