    • FOREWORD
    I am delighted to write this foreword to this maiden edition of the Undergraduate Students’ Handbook of the Department of Fisheries and Aquacultural Technology. This Handbook is produced in line with one of the academic requirements of the National University Commission (NUC). It is designed to provide essential information and assist students of the Department on academic programmes, requirements and regulations of the Department and University in general. It contains vital information that could help reduce incidences of preventable academic blunders. It also serves as an important guide for the returning students.
