Department of political science
The Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida University, established by the Niger State University law of 2005, commenced academic activities during the 2005/2006 session. The Department of Political Science is one of the oldest Departments in the Faculty of Management and Social Sciences of the University. The foundation staff are: Mall. Mohammed Hashim Yunusa, Hajiya Fatima Katcha and Dr. Smith Sunday Usen. The Department of PublicAdministration and Local Government Studies was created during 2007/2008 academic session and was subsumed under the Department for the purpose of accreditation and rational utilization of human resources. However, the Local Government Studies Programme was scrapped and merged with Public Administration due to shortage of manpower in Local Government Studies.
Our mission is to make the Department a citadel of knowledge acquisition, where research teaching and community service are highly encouraged as the development of human resources for the country, the world and the entire humanity.
Our vision is to make the Department one ofthe best in the world in production of highly skilled manpower through serious academic work and dissemination of knowledge, a highly motivated staff operating in a conducive environment.
