The College of Humanities and Social Sciences is an amalgamation of four Faculties, Sixteen  (16) Departments and a Research Centre. The amalgamation was in line with the University’s objective to achieve good governance and academic excellence through restructuring of academic and administrative units into Colleges.

The year witnessed tremendous improvements in institutional linkages, income generation, receipt of donations, renovation of  laboratories, procurement of facilities to enhance teaching and learning, presentations at conferences workshops and seminars, etc. Research output was comparatively better.
