Degree Option B. Tech Food Science Technology
PROGRAMME PHILOSOPHY
The philosophy of the programme is to train technically skilled graduates capable of working in existing food industries, using locally available raw materials to set up cottage food processing industries (to reduce post harvest food losses) as well as make nutritious and wholesome food available to consumers.

OBJECTIVES OF FOOD SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY
DEPARTMENT
The Department of Food Science and Technology has the following objectives:
1. To produce skilled technical and managerial manpower for agro-allied industries
2. To produce skilled manpower required to establish, manage and direct small scale food processing and allied industries using locally available sourced raw materials in line with the institutions’ motto: Technology For Self Reliance.
3. To produce graduates who will be involved in consultancy services in food product development, research and development, processing and preservation. This, no doubt, will reduce post harvest food losses and produce job creator graduates rather than job seekers.
4. To produce graduates with knowledge of design and fabrication of food processing equipment to assist in developing traditional technology.
5. To produce graduates who will be able to teach Food Science and Technology and allied courses in appropriate institutions of higher learning.
