1.0 INTRODUCTION

The Department of Electrical Engineering became an autonomous Department in the 1981/82 session when the first set of students was admitted into Part II of the 3-year Bachelor of Engineering (B.Eng.) degree programme. Part I courses were taught as common courses for all Students of the Faculty of Technology.

The aim of establishing the Department of Electrical Engineering was to meet the growing need for manpower in the profession. The main objective was to train and produce Engineers with the required qualities and capabilities to meet the increasing need for professional Engineers in the country.

Until the 1984/85 session the Department of Electrical Engineering offered a 3-year degree programme following a 2-year pre-degree programme in the Faculty of Science. From the 1984/85 session, however, the Department, like all other Departments in the Faculty of Engineering, started admitting students for the 4-year programme after completing the pre-degree programme in the Faculty of Science or by direct admission through the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB). At present, the Department of Electrical Engineering, starting from the 1988/89 session runs a 5-year degree programme. The Department is currently running three undergraduate programmes, namely: B.Eng Electrical Engineering B.Eng Computer Engineering B.Eng Telecommunication Engineering 1.1 Philosophy and Objectives of the Programmes

The overall aim of the programmes is in consonance with the realization of national needs and aspirations vis-à-vis industrial development and technological emancipation. The programmes give the minimum academic standards required to meet these needs and to produce graduates with sufficient academic background and practical experience who would be able to rise to the challenges of a developing economy like ours.

The objectives for the B.Eng. programmes are to:

1 Produce highly skilled and trained Electrical, Computer and

Telecommunication engineers that will contribute to societal development. 2 Meet the growing need of Electrical, Computer and Telecommunication

engineering professionals in the immediate catchment area and beyond. 3 Assist Nigeria in its efforts to become an IT power by producing large numbers

of Electrical, Computer and Telecommunication professionals. 4 Contribute to the rapid development of the Electrical, computer and

Telecommunication engineering field in Nigeria. 5 Produce potential researchers that would expand the frontiers of knowledge in

the IT field. 6 Promote the importance of IT and its relevance to the rapid socio-economic

development of the country.

1.2 Administration in General of the Programmes

The organizational Structure of the Department is depicted as shown below:

HEAD OF DEPARTMENT

Academic staff Administrative staff (including Laboratory or Technical (all cadres of Secretary, Typist, Executive staff (including lecturers) Officer, Messengers and artisans, technical cleaners) assistants and technologists) 1.2.1 Involvement of Staff in the Administration and Decision-making

All members of staff belong to one committee or the other either at the departmental level, Faculty or University level. The Department Board normally meets at least once a month to discuss various issues ranging from general administration to other academic issues and responsibilities, which enable the Head of Department to take decisions.

Various sub-committees such as the Laboratory Management Committee, Research Committees, Admissions and Promotion Committee, and others have been set up to ensure the efficient running of the department to give a collective sense of participation for all staff members.

1.2.2 Students’ Welfare

Students are given free access to discuss their grievances and problems with the Head of Department through their respective level coordinators or if need be directly with the Head of Department. All such academic grievances are tabled at the normal or emergency departmental meetings and decisions are then taken if it is within competence of the department or referred to the Faculty Board of Studies if necessary.

1.2.3 Student Academic Advisory

All students in the department are assigned to Level coordinators for guidance and counseling in the area of courses to take, to add or to drop throughout the students’ career in the University. In cases where the matter is beyond the scope of the academic staff, such is referred to the Head of Department and then if necessary, to the Dean of the Faculty for appropriate actions.

3

1.3 Entry Requirements The minimum admission requirements into various levels of the programmes are as follows: Level 100 i) Credit level passes at the Senior Secondary School final year examination or GCE ‘O’

level in five subjects including English, Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry in addition to acceptable pass in Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME).

Level 200 i. Passes in English Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry at GCE ‘A” level or

equivalent. ii. Overall upper credit level pass in the National Diploma (ND) final examination in a

relevant discipline and distinction pass in Mathematics.

1.3.1 Change of Programme: A student may be allowed by the Dean of Faculty to change from one programme to another programme within the Faculty on the following conditions:

i. No later than the second week of the first semester of level 300 ii. Approval of the two Heads of programmes involved;

iii. The student was not admitted on the basis of ND qualifications. 2.0 REGISTRATION 2.1 Registration Procedure At the beginning of each academic session a student shall complete all registration processes on-line, and submit all copies of the forms to his/her level coordinator. In the case of level 100 and level 200 (Direct Entry) students their registration officer is the Faculty of Engineering Sub-Dean (Academics). All aspects of the registration must be completed within two weeks of the commencement of the session. The following are the guidelines for registration of both new and returning students:

1. All aspects of the registration must be completed within two weeks of the commencement of the session.

2. Students should consult with their level coordinators/registration officer before filling the course registration form on-line.

3. Pre-requisite must be satisfied for courses that require such. 4. New students are required to register 34 credit units including Two GSP courses each

2 credits unit (one in each semester). 5. All 200 level students are required to register 43 (or 47) credits including three (3)

General studies (GSP) courses of two credits each, and student Workshop Experience Programme (SWEP).

6. All 300, 400 and 500 level students must register for a minimum of 18 credit units per semester. The number and choice of courses for which a student can register may be constrained by Departmental Regulations and by time-tabling. Students must register for all carry-over core courses before fresh courses.

4

7. A student may be allowed at the discretion of the level coordinator to register for more than the allowable maximum credit units.

8. If for any reason student could not graduate at the end of level 500, he/she is allowed four extra semesters within which to graduate. In the case of a student who needs to study for only one semester to meet minimum credit for graduation requirement, he/she can be allowed to register course(s) credits lower than the minimum credit required per semester.

9. A returning student who fails to complete the registration process within the two weeks period approved for registration shall be deemed to registering late and shall pay late registration fee as may be prescribed by the University from time to time.

10. A student who fails to register within four weeks of commencement of registration exercise shall not be allowed to register. Such student shall be deemed to have withdrawn unless (s)he provides a reason acceptable to the Senate, in which case(s) can be considered for suspension of studies.

11. A fresh student must complete the registration process within two weeks; failure to comply within the stipulated time shall attract extra charges or forfeiture of the admission.

12. Application for suspension of studies must be made to/through the Department in time, for such request to be tendered for consideration by appropriate bodies.

13. A student is regarded as registered only when the necessary registration forms have been submitted to the level coordinator. Students are therefore advised to strictly adhere to the registration guidelines in their own interest.

2.2 Study Duration; Minimum and Maximum Duration Residency Time The minimum duration of study for the programmes shall be five (5) academic sessions or (10 semesters) for candidates who gain admission into level 100, while its four (4) academics sessions 8 semesters) for candidate that gains admission into 200 level. The maximum length of time allowed for obtaining B.Eng degree in the department shall be fourteen (14) semesters for students admitted into 100 level and twelve (12) semesters for students admitted directly into the 200 level. For extension beyond the maximum period, a special permission of Senate shall be required on the recommendation of the Faculty Board. 2.3 Matriculation and Orientation of New Students The University conducts matriculation for newly admitted students where students will be required to take matriculation oath. The Dean of each Faculty presents students from his/her Faculty for matriculation, while the registrar administers the matriculation oath. You are required to solemnly swear to observe and respect the provision of Bayero University laws and students’ ordinances and regulations. After matriculation no student will be allowed to register into levels 100 and 200.

At the beginning of the session the Department usually organizes orientation programme for new students, this is in addition to the orientation programme that is organized by both the Faculty and the University. The purpose of the programme is to acquaint the new students with the departmental facilities and staff, students will also freely interact with lecturers and are encouraged to ask questions on anything they would like to know about the department and its programme.

5

3.0 ACADEMIC MATTERS 3.1 Curriculum The first three levels (levels 100 to 300) of the programmes should be the same, i.e. students for the programmes will take the same course with their counterparts in Electrical, Computer and Telecommunication Engineering up to Level 300

In levels 400 and 500, appropriate engineering courses are established for each programme so as to give students a very thorough grasp of their discipline engineering fundamentals based on earlier courses they would have taken in levels 100, 200 and 300. However, some courses should still be taken together by the three programmes.

Based on the Nigeria University Commission (NUC) minimum standards, Council for the Regulation of Engineering in Nigeria (COREN) Bench Mark for Minimum Academic Standards and curricula from some sample Universities offering similar programmes, the Level 400 and Level 500 courses are developed.

3.2 Course Credit System of the Programmes

The basic unit of the programme is the “course”.

Course: A Course is defined as a self-contained element of teaching, study or other approved academic activity finally assessed and reported to the Board of Examiners by a single mark. It may consist entirely of lectures, laboratory, seminar, Design, field or project work, or a combination of these. A course should normally be completed within one semester.

Credit: Each course is allocated a certain integral number of credits. A credit is defined as 15 teaching units. A teaching unit will normally comprise one hour of lecturing plus associated tutorial work, or three hours of Laboratory/Design work.

Pre-Requisite: Courses may be assigned pre-requisites by the teaching unit. Where course ‘A’ must be obtained in order to register for course ‘B’.

Core: A core course is a course that must be passed before a student can obtain a degree in a specific programme.

Pass: Passing a course requires the attainment of a 45% mark or better in the assessment scheme of that course.

Carry-Over: A student who failed a course will be allowed to repeat that course at the next available opportunity as a Carry-over course. If the failed course is a core course, then it must be repeated.

Course Code: Each course is given an alpha-numeric name made up of three letters and four digits: CEExxxx. The letter group CEE describes the programme (Telecommunication

6

Engineering) and the Department teaching the course, i.e. Electrical Engineering department.

The first digit in the numeric part of the course code denotes the level of the course, the second digit denotes the credit value of the course, the third digit denotes the number of revisions the given curriculum of the course has gone through and the last digit is the serial number. Thus “CEE5412” is a four-credit level 500 Telecommunication Engineering course that has undergone one revision and is taught by Electrical Engineering department.

Credit Load: The minimum student load per semester is 18 credits, three of which must be Laboratory/Design work. In the case of a student who needs to study for only one semester to meet minimum-credit graduation requirement, the minimum load is 12 credits.

Level 100: A student will be required to register for 34 credit units including one two-credit GSP course. All level 100 courses are common for all the three programmes. All the courses are core and compulsory.

Level 200: A student will be required to register for 43 (or 47) credits including 3 (or 5 for DE) GSP courses of two credits each and SWEP. All level II courses are common and compulsory.

Levels 300, 400 and 500: A student must register for a minimum of 18 credits per semester. The number and choice of courses for which a student can register may be constrained by Departmental Regulations and by time-tabling. Students must register for all carry-over core courses before fresh courses.

3.3 Grading of Students’ Work

Grading of courses is done by a combination of percentage marks and letter grades translated into a graduated system of Grade Point Equivalent (GPE). For the purpose of determining a student’s standing at the end of every semester, the Grade Point Average (GPA) system is used. Each course is graded out of maximum of 100 marks (made up of continuous assessment and written Examination) and assigned appropriate Grade point Equivalent as follows:

The Project is graded over 100% without any written examination.

Table 1: Grade Point Letters

3.3.1 Grade Point Average (GPA) & Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) Grade Point Average (GPA) Grading of courses shall be done by a combination of percentage marks and letter grades translated into a graduated system of Grade Point Equivalent (GPE). For the purpose of determining a student’s standing at the end of every semester, the grade point average System shall be used. The GPA is computed by dividing the total number of credit points (TCP) by the total number of credit units (TCU) for all the courses taken in the semester. Values of GPA range from 0 – 5. Tables 2 and 3 give more details and example respectively, for evaluation of GPA for a particular semester. Each course shall be graded out of maximum of 100marks and assigned appropriate Grade Point Equivalent as in Table 1: Table 2: GPA/CGPA Calculation Course Credit Unit

3.3.2 Degree Classification Determination of the class of degree is based on the Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) earned at the end of the programme. The CGPA is used in the determination of the class of degree according to the following table:

Class of Degree CGPA First Class 4.50 - 5.00 Second Class Upper 3.50 - 4.49 Second Class Lower 2.40 - 3.49 Third Class 1.50 - 2.39

4.0 GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS To graduate with a B. Eng degree in any of the programmes it is required that the student i. Pass all the core courses ii. Obtain a CGPA of 1.50 or higher in 7 academic sessions or less iii. Must earn total of 190 credit units if he/she enrolls at 100 level of the B. Eng Electrical programme or 160 credit units if he/she enrolls at 200 level

iv. Must earn total of 193 credit units if he/she enrolls at 100 level of the B. Eng Computer programme or 163 credit units if he/she enrolls at 200 level

v. Must earn total of 198 credit units if he/she enrolls at 100 level of the B. Eng Telecommunication programme or 164 credit units if he/she enrolls at 200 level vi. Must satisfy all the existing/current University, Faculty and Department requirements for the award of a degree. 5.0 WARNING, PROBATION AND WITHDRWAL The academic standing of a student is determined by the Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA). The minimum tolerable CGPA is 1.50. A student with CGPA below 1.50 will fall under warning, probation or withdrawal as the case may be.

9

5.1 Warning A student is warned if his/her CGPA drops below the minimum tolerable level (CGPA< 1.50) for the first time. This warning is usually in the form of verbal advice, and the student should be made fully aware of the implication of dropping below the minimum tolerable CGPA in the next semester examinations 5.2 Probation A student is placed on probation if he is below 1.5 CGPA at the end of a session. Failure to make CGPA of 1.5 or above at the end of the next consecutive session, the student would be withdrawn from the programme.

5.3 Withdrawals The university uses the term withdrawal to formally indicate that a student has been dropped from the particular programme (s)he is studying in the department. Withdrawal from a programme shall be recommended from the departmental board to the senate through the faculty board on any of the following grounds:

• Failure to register within the time set by the university for registration • Failure to pass the probation limit of at least 1.50 CGPA after the probation period. • Failure to sit for the entire examination in a complete semester without any

acceptable reason. • Failure to attend classes for a period which exceeds 30 conservative days except

with an approved reason. • Failure to complete the programme of study within the specified period (semesters)

laid down for the programme. • An eminent failure that a student will not be able to graduate within his/her

remaining period of study, even if (s)he is to register all the remaining credits and pass.

• Failure to satisfy any other university, faculty or departmental regulation. (Safety, misconduct, character, etc.)

If a student is advised to withdraw from a particular programme, (s)he may seek fresh admission into the university through the normal admission process. However, if (s)he is readmitted, (s)he cannot transfer/claim any credit earned from the previous programme (s)he was withdrawn from.

6.0 SUSPENSION OF STUDY Students are expected to attend their registered courses regularly and continuously. The University is under no obligation to repeat course work or examinations for whatever reason. No degree, except an aegrotat degree will be awarded unless the candidate passes all formal examination concerned. If a student must suspend his/her study for very important and genuine reasons while the University is in session, he/she shall submit a written application at least two weeks before the planned suspension of study so that the application could be processed and replied to.

10

6.1 Suspension of Study on Travel Grounds For travels within the country, a student shall apply to the Dean of his/her faculty through his/her Head of Department, attaching all supporting documents. Such applications are to be treated by the Dean on their merit, with the decision communicated to the student, his/her Head of Department and course lecturers.

a) For travel outside the country, a student shall apply to the Dean of Student Affairs through his/her Head of Department attaching all supporting documents. The Dean of Students Affairs shall, on behalf of the Vice-Chancellor, treat all such applications on their own merit and communicate the decision to the student, the Head of Department and Dean of Faculty.

b) A student may be permitted to travel out of the country for religious reason not more than once during his/her programme of study.

c) Where only an examination is involved, the performance in the affected course will be recorded as ‘Incomplete’ and the credit load will not be counted in the calculation of the student’s Grade Point Average (GPA) for the semester or the Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA). The student will write the examination when next available. For a student requiring only such ‘Incomplete’ course(s) to graduate, or in a case where the affected course is being phase out, a faculty may recommend to Senate the completion of ‘Incomplete’ course(s) through the administration of special examination(s) if such an option is considered feasible.

d) Where coursework for substantial part of the semester is involved, the Faculty Board shall recommend ‘’Suspension of Studies’’ for the student. The student shall be required to take the courses afresh (but not as carry-overs), or undertake alternative ones (if permitted by the regulations) on his/her return. No GPA shall be computed for a semester where the student is on suspension of studies. However, if the suspension is only for one semester, performance in the other semester shall be used in computing the Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA). Where a student takes certificated sick-leave, and in all cases where he falls ill during or within a period of up to 3 days before an examination, he must obtain a sick –leave certificate within 24 hours of the commencement of his absence. If he attends examination during a period of authorized sick-leave, no subsequent appeal for consideration of failure in the examination will be entertained.

6.2 Suspension of Study on Health Grounds

6.2.1 Maternity Leave a) A female student must submit a medical certificate, showing the expected date of

delivery (EDD), not less than 6 weeks in advance of the date, and be can be granted dispensation from coursework for a period of 12 weeks, commencing 6 weeks before the (EDD). Incomplete grade will normally be awarded only if the examination occurs within a period beginning six weeks before the expected date of delivery and ending nine weeks after the actual date of delivery. A Faculty Board may, at its discretion, extend this period on receipt of a medical statement indicating exceptional circumstances. If the expected date of delivery interferes

11

with a substantial part of the semester’s coursework, the department concerned shall recommend suspension of studies for the student. In regulations above the term ‘sick-leave certificate’ and ‘’Submit ‘or ‘Submission’’ will be interpreted as follows:

6.2.2 Sick leave certificate a) If a student falls sick while residing in the University campus or in Kano

Metropolitan Area, sick leave certificate must be obtained from the University Clinic or from a reputable hospital. In the latter case the certificate should be an official headed form stamped and counter-signed by the Head of Department or the Medical Superintendent in charge of the Hospital, as appropriate.

b) If a student falls sick outside the Kano Area, or is taken in emergency to a hospital in Kano, he/she must similarly obtain his certificate from a Medical Officer employed by the University or by the Government Hospital on an official headed form stamped and counter-signed by the Head of Department or Medical Superintendent in charge of the Hospital, as appropriate.

c) If a student falls sick outside Nigeria, he/she must send, without delay, an official sick-leave certificate to the Director, University Health Services, who may at his discretion refer the certificate for authentication to the Nigerian Diplomatic representative in the country concerned, or to any other appropriate body.

d) If a student is granted a sick-leave or maternity leave before the examination and if he/she decides to take the examinations, the sick leave or maternity leave shall be withdrawn and he/she will be obliged to take all the examinations.

e) If the student obtains a sick-leave certificate from the University Clinic he/she must present it personally or through a messenger without any delay to the Dean of his/her Faculty and obtain a receipt for it.

f) If the certificate is obtained from another hospital, it must be presented personally or through a Messenger without delay to the Director, University Health Services, and a receipt obtained for it.

g) If the certificate is obtained outside Nigeria it must be sent immediately by messenger or by registered post to the Director University Health Service and a receipt of delivery or posting (as appropriate) obtained. If sent by post, a copy must be retained by the student. The student must meanwhile endeavor to notify the Dean by telephone, telegram or by messenger, stating his/her exact address, and the number of days of sick-leave given.

h) In all cases the receipt for delivery or posting of a certificate, and the copy where appropriate, must be retained and produced to the Dean if required later.

i) On receipt of certificate issued by another doctor, the Director University Health Services will notify the Dean of the student’s Faculty. The Director may consider it necessary to send a member of the Health Services Staff to verify student’s condition, and any change of address or condition must be communicated to the Director without delay. A certificate will not be further considered by the Director if the address given is to be false.

12

6.3 Disputed Cases Disputed cases will normally be referred for advice to a reputable consultant. In certain cases, reference would be made to a Medical Panel composed by the Vice-Chancellor.

6.4 Timely Application/Submission of Documents a) Students are to apply for permission for suspension of study much earlier before the

planned time, clearly indicating the ground for the application and attaching any supporting document(s). Late submission of sick-leave certificates or other appropriate document will be entertained only in exceptional circumstances. However, applications for excuses on medical or other grounds submitted after the publication of examination results or more than 30 days after the last examination paper in the semester that was taken (whichever one come first) shall not be considered.

b) An absence for a period that exceeds 30 consecutive days, or 30 days plus the duration of any official vacation which intervenes, will normally be permitted only on medical or other pertinent grounds. If an application with appropriate sick leave certificate or other supporting document is not submitted before the end of this period, the student will be regarded by the Senate as having withdrawn voluntarily from the University.

7.0 EXAMINATION Examinations for all courses offered during the Semester are held at the end of semester.

Before being admitted to any examination, a student must be registered for the course under examination and have satisfactorily completed the course work required by scoring a pass grade in the continuous assessment in that course.

GSP2201: Foundations of the Nigerian Culture, Government & Economy: 2 Credits

The University general policy statement written in 1976 for the N.U.C. sets out its fundamental aims under five headings, of which two may be seen as particularly relevant to a general studies course in the area of the foundation of Nigerian Culture. These aims which also define the objectives of this segment are:

29

To encourage students to come to grips with some of the moral and societal issues of contemporary life.

To assist students to understand and promote the cultural heritage of the Savannah, the Nigerian and the African tradition. Now, if culture can be defined as man’s capacity to understand and improve upon the reality of his circumstances, then it is co-extensive with life and the process of education

The dynamics of a culture engenders, in the lives of a people. Culture, in this sense, is a people’s way of being in the world; it is their way of making the world their own culture therefore is an expression of human nature and human reality is both material and spiritual. Human nature finds its creative fulfillment in the constructs which correspond to man’s material and spiritual cultures. In order to come to grips with the problems of the modern world, a student must be able to incorporate into his general education his own cultural heritage. The thought here is that by recapitulating his past and his cultural heritage he will become better adapted to life and more equipped to deal with the moral and societal issues of his contemporary life situations. The culture epoch and recapitulation, therefore, define the main objectives of this course. The Theoretical Base: Definition & scope of culture various views: i. An abstract term, undefined & unlimited in scope. ii. Cultural Typology

a. Style: The individualized totality of mental and spiritual manifestations of a community as in traditions, customs institutions, philosophies, laws, arts, language etc. Culture as an embodiment of all human institutions: politics religion etc.

b. Pattern: The structure of meanings and the ethnic characteristics of a community. Cultural constructs: ideas, beliefs and symbolic representations.

c. Factors involved in cultural interaction and stratification; trade, politics, religion and language

d. Cultural zones and regions: territorial or communal. Ethnic community as the basic human entity and the substratum of culture; defined by specific set of nature conditions i.e. extra cultural circumstances, e.g. geographical, historical, social, psychological and spiritual etc. what determines cultural zones and regions? Special emphasis on geographical and/or environmental factors. Culture as the expressive phenomena by which extra cultural factors are translated into cultural phenomena; man the creator of culture.

Nigeria: Land and people: i. Cultural zones: the savannah region; history and traditions of the Hausa

states, Sayfawa states of Kanan and Borno. People of the Benue, Gongola valley and the rest of the middle belt.

ii. The forest and coastal zones: the Yoruba and the Igbo speaking people; the Kalabari, the Igbo etc. Cultural constructs and traditions.

iii. Interaction between the cultural zones of Nigeria. The trading net-work, population movement and cultural diffusion. The growth of arts and crafts in the Savannah and the forest regions in historical perspective; pottery and iron work, architecture and sculpture etc.

iv. Pre-colonial socio/political organizations: the Hausa states, Kanemi, Borno, the Jukun, tribal entities?

30

Major Cultural Influences in Nigeria:

(a) i. The penetration of Islam in Nigeria: Process of Islamization and concept of

Islamic ideology. ii. Interaction between Islam and indigenous customs and traditions. the Islamic

concept of political state. Sokoto Caliphate: its goals and objectives iii. Penetration of Christianity in Nigeria. Early missionary activities and growth of Churches iv. Interaction between Christianity and local customs and traditions. (b) i. The influence of foreign cultures on the Nigerian society. African personality: a cultural conception of personality. Personality as a: (a) motivational structure, (b) behavioral structure and (c) situational structure. Attempts to retrieve the cultural identity. Islamic and Christian views.

ii. The impact of Westernization on indigenous norms. The transformation of

political cultures of the people of Nigeria. Education and culture:

i. Interaction between culture and educational process: education and culture change.

ii. Education and social order: education and social change. Culture and the Moral Order:

i. Traditional Nigerian norms of behaviour, more, folkways, customs, traditions and concepts of human relations. ii. Islamic ethical and philosophical systems: law, political and social

Organizations. iii. Islamic view of education and moral development. iv. Christian concept of moral development

v. Moral education in Nigerian Schools: causes of delinquency, drug abuse and deviancy.

Nigerian Government and Economy: The following words aptly summarize the objectives of this segment of the General Studies programme. An educated man was expected to have broad based knowledge of several fields of specialization. He was expected to deal with moral issues and value judgments confronting his society as well as those relating to his own economic pursuits and political behaviour. He was then expected to relate such knowledge and value determinations to his contemporary social situation. Accordingly, the aim of this course is, first, to make students conscious of Nigeria as political and economic entity; second, to identify the problems and prospects of Nigerian government and economy, past as well as present, and, finally to acquaint them with the mechanics to safeguard and promote those values and ideals which gave Nigeria its identity as a nation.
