History

The Department of Accounting & Finance started in 1981, pioneered by late Professor B.O. Ogundele as the Head of Department. The first set of students were enrolled in the 1981/82 academic session and they graduated in the 1984/85 academic session.

The curriculum of the degrees offered is as approved by the University Senate in line with NUC minimum academic standards (BMAS). However, the Department of Accounting & Finance was split into two, viz: Department of Accounting and Department of Finance in 2012/2013 session.  Prof. M.A. Ijaiya was appointed as the pioneer Head of Department at the inception of the new department. In addition to first degree, the Department also offers a Master of Science (M.Sc.) and Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) degree in Finance.  A great number of the students that graduated from the programme are currently making enviable contributions in different spheres of the Nigerian public and corporate spheres.
