Forestry and Wildlife
Welcome Address by the hod
You are specially welcome to the home page of the Department of Forestry and Wildlife Management. I would like to express my pleasure to belong to this Department, it represents a bridge of sustainable environment. Undoubtedly, forestry is a pivot about which the World-desired Sustainable Environment revolves. Forestry and Wildlife Management is beginning to gain Worldwide acceptance especially in some of our universities probably owing to the current realities of degraded environment caused by Man’s actions and inactions.
Fortunately, the Management of Nasarawa State University at the inception probably saw the importance embedded in Management of Renewable Natural Resources, therefore decided to include the Department of Forestry and Wildlife Management so as to fill the foreseeing vacuum that it’s absence can create especially within the North Central Nigeria.
Consequently, learning about Natural resources has become an urgent requirement to cope with climate change and sustainable environment. In order to achieve the set goals for establishing the Department which was to provide professional personnel in forestry and allied land management with training focus based purely along eight units namely: Silviculture; Forest Ethno-Botany; Mensuration and Remote Sensing; Utilization and Wood Engineering; Forest Economics and Management; Wildlife Resources Management; Eco-tourism Management and Land Use, Law and Institutions.
It is noteworthy that between 2005 and 2020, the Department of Forestry and Wildlife Management, Nasarawa State University Keffi, Nigeria has produced many Students with B.Sc. The training received in Forestry and allied courses has since been enabling our alumni and alumnae in various organisations to deal with the increasingly environmental problems in our society. Much more importantly, the intellectual accomplishments and mental perspectives of our graduates have been helping them to operate on a more encompassing level outside their areas of specializations.
