Coming to Covenant University was a
blessing to me in every aspect
Before coming to Covenant University, I thought the
university was one of those conventional universities,
however, I was astonished to realise that the university was
a place that would prepare me to become a total man in life.
This changed my whole orientation about the university,
thereby giving me a sense of purpose and consciousness for
every decision I made. Also, the spiritual contents of the
university helped to shape my personal relationship with my
heavenly father for a glorious future. I am convinced that
coming to Covenant University was a blessing to me in
every aspect of life. I have built self-confidence, discipline,
diligence and most importantly spiritual growth.

Department of Sociology
Sociology studies human behaviour, the patterns of interaction and relations in a social
context. The essence is to be able to interrogate social phenomena, understand societal
problems and proffer solutions to them, based on knowledge gained and using the
sociological imagination.
Here, at Covenant University, we are set to produce sociologists who are expert thinkers
and able to use their theoretical and empirical knowledge of societal events and of social
phenomena in providing solutions to the social problems in Nigeria and Africa. These
problems include poverty, crime, unemployment, juvenile delinquency, urban congestion
and the development of slums, rapid population growth rate, social deprivation, and health
problems including those of HIV/AIDS, to mention but a few.
The philosophy of the Sociology programme is anchored on the imperative of transforming

the third world into an independent entity both in knowledge acquisition and its
application. The Programme is, therefore, structured to provide an in-depth and holistic
insight into the understanding of human interactions and behaviour patterns, which cut
across all spheres of society, thereby producing a crop of graduates equipped with
appropriate knowledge to make their contribution to the development of Nigeria, Africa
and the global community.

highly dynamic and versatile. Therefore, the department seeks to contribute
effectively and sufficiently to the knowledge economy by putting in place curricula
that meet these challenges. The training is to produce graduates, who are
producers rather than mere consumers of the knowledge economy, by being, upon
graduation, ready-made functional engineers in industries, research assistants,
scholars in academia, or successful entrepreneurs engineering sector.

Department of Architecture
The Department of Architecture offers a 4-year Programme leading to the award of
the B.Sc. Degree in Architecture. Our mission is to produce a new breed of
Professional Architects who are competent, creative, and capable of leading the
Building Industry within and outside Nigeria.
Our students are at the cutting edge of architectural design as the core focus of the
school of Architecture through the rich teaching instructions from the department
and the esteemed faculty base. Through the design studios, students produce
stunning, functional and contemporary architectural designs across various
modules. Reports from our graduates across the globe are humbling on the great
waves and impact they are exerting both as employees and employers across the
AEC industry.
Our curriculum is focused on the development of students’ creative skills and

capabilities in generating architectural solutions that are environmentally, socially,
economically and culturally responsive to the desire of all categories of clients in
contemporary society. This is achieved through our emphasis on a problem-based
learning approach, which is the hallmark of architectural education

Department of Building
Five (5) years or ten (10) semesters
The Department of Building currently offers a 5-year Bachelor of Science (B.Sc)
degree in Building Technology. The degree is framed to produce graduates with a
sound basic knowledge of Building construction and its management. Welcome to
the birthplace of successful construction practitioners.
The building process requires highly skilled labour to deliver quality products
promptly. Hitherto this expectation is yet to be achieved and as a consequence, the
industry has suffered a number of setbacks – cost and time overrun, abandonment
of building projects, building collapse, and premature decay of our environment.
Therefore, of necessity, the building must be handled by qualified professionals who
are adequately and properly trained.
A Builder could be useful in the following areas of human endeavours: the

Construction Industry, Educational Institutes, Banks, Finance houses, Insurance,
Housing Corporations, Military Establishments, the Oil Industry, the three tiers of
government and their agencies, etc.

Department of Estate Management
The Department prepares students to face greater practical challenges bordering on
real estate issues in society. Indisputably, everything existing hinges on land and
that explains the very essence of the course as no venture, business or enterprise
can exist outside land.
Our students are trained to acquire skills in the constituent disciplines of Property
Valuation, Property Development, Property Finance, Property Marketing, Property
and Facility Management and Maintenance, Land and Land Resources Management.
A developing country like Nigeria needs Estate Surveyors and Valuers to assist in
providing, managing and carrying out improvements on buildings and infrastructure
on one hand and expanding urban property markets on the other hand.
The Programme is therefore designed to produce graduates who can serve as

supervisors, and managers and control interests in landed property through sound
education, training and research with a total commitment to marketability,
truthfulness, and entrepreneurship all in the fear of God.

Covenant University
While growing up, I was made to believe I was a duck who
was created to avoid the storm, but what Covenant
University has taught me in four years was the opposite. Her
core values taught me to face the storm head-on. By the
grace of God, I started three businesses while in the
university: CREF Media, which I co-founded, Mentorships.ng
which I also cofounded and a consulting firm I founded
called The DIY Leader. On this same platform (CU) I wrote a
book titled 'The Force of Positive Thinking.' In less than a
year, I got a National Campus Journalism Award; I was
awarded Author of The Year 2018. As the Chancellor will
