About The Programme
The Information and Communications Technology (ICT) industry is growing at a fast rate and becoming central in growth of nearly all industries and organizations. The desired economic growth rates in Nigeria and West African region in general goes hand in hand with a need for highly qualified ICT professionals to support the private and public sectors. Therefore, A critical mass of highly qualified ICT professionals are therefore required to maintain, and support computer systems and networks in nearly every business processes, managerial decision-making, and organizational communication.
The Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.) degree in Information and Communication Technology (ICT) seeks to develop high quality human resources for the public and private sectors so as to maximize the utility of ICT in organization.
This programme aims to equip graduates with the technical knowledge and analytical skills to keep abreast with the rapid advances in technology, and be able to select, create, apply, integrate, administer and maintain computing technologies in organizations and within the larger society requiring collaboration.
The specific objectives of the programme are, to:
- give students fundamental hardware and software knowledge and skills in business applications.
- equip students with theoretical knowledge and practical skills in multimedia computing.
- enable students to acquire computer networks operation principles and network implementation procedures.
- promote and encourage good information processing skills from database.
- offer advanced employable skills that can be used in public and private sector industry.
On successful completion of the programme, the graduates will be able to:
- Exploit the entrepreneurial aspects of ICT in order to strengthen the competitiveness of the organizations
- Plan, manage and configure networks and computer systems so as to improve their utility and effectiveness in organizations
- Specify and test computer systems necessary in the day today running of organizations
- Integrate, evolve and tune systems in organizations
- Competently utilize ICT to support the different levels of management in organizations.
- Exercise original thought, have good professional judgment and be able to take responsibility for the execution of important tasks.
