The Senate of Nasarawa State University, Keffi (NSUK), has approved the restructuring of its Faculty of Natural and Applied Sciences into three distinct faculties as part of efforts to strengthen academic administration, deepen specialization, and improve the delivery of quality education.
The decision was taken at the 140th Regular Senate Meeting held on Monday, May 25, 2026.
According to an official memorandum signed by Barr. Ramatu A. Liman, Senior Deputy Registrar (Academic Affairs), on behalf of the Registrar, Senate approved the creation of the following faculties:
Faculty of Computing
Faculty of Life Sciences
Faculty of Physical Sciences
The restructuring is designed to align the university’s academic structure with global trends in higher education while enhancing teaching, research, innovation, and capacity development.
As part of the reorganisation, Senate also reviewed and approved the recommendation of the Academic Planning and Curriculum Committee on the placement of the Department of Statistics and Data Analytics. The department, initially proposed for the Faculty of Physical Sciences, has now been moved to the Faculty of Computing due to its increasing relevance to data science, artificial intelligence, and modern computing systems.
The approved recommendations have been forwarded to the University’s Governing Council for final consideration and statutory approval in line with governance procedures.
The development represents a major milestone in NSUK’s ongoing drive toward academic excellence, institutional growth, and innovation. It is expected to improve administrative efficiency, encourage interdisciplinary collaboration, and strengthen the university’s responsiveness to emerging scientific and technological demands.
The restructuring also reflects the institution’s commitment to building a dynamic academic framework capable of supporting emerging disciplines and producing graduates equipped for a rapidly evolving digital economy.
