Since its establishment in 2001, the Sociology Department and its programme have tried to maintain dynamic and progressive character. In this early year in the life of the Department, when Nigeria herself was barely emerging from decades of military rule both the staff and the programmes of the Department are encouraged to imbibe democratic values. The academic staffs are young and dynamic and this has informed the orientation that reject the production of docile and obedient citizens, by equipping them with relevant knowledge about their physical and socio-economic environment. This orientation towards relevant programmes led to the rejection of some irrelevant anthropological courses in favour of courses in African societies and cultures, politics and economics.

The programme is designed to equip students with the skills, knowledge and methodology needed for in dept analysis of power and power relations among individual, group and organizations. The primary objectives of the programmes are:

• To produce proficient administrators and teachers of Government who possess sound knowledge of Political Science.
• To produce inspiring administrators and experts in government relations who not only possess confidence, skills and techniques necessary for the knowledge of political science but analyzing also possess the proper values and attitudes towards political events.
• To inculcate within the scope of the students’ training the necessary values, skills and techniques for effective and moral leadership.
• To produce the necessary training in citizenship and broaden the students’ sense and scope of participation in community as well as national affairs.
• To produce personnel who can foster the growth of international co-operation, co- existence and mutual assistance
