Brief History:
At the inception of the University in September 2007, the pioneer Department started as the Department of Geological and Chemical Sciences which offered B.Sc. degrees in Geology, Industrial Chemistry and Biochemistry. The Department started with six pioneer staff (3 academic and 3 technical) and 10 students in 2007. The Department of Geological and Chemical Sciences was unbundled in the year 2012 into two: the Department of Geological Sciences (for B.Sc. Geology) and the Department of Chemical Sciences. This same year, the Department of Chemical Sciences added B.Sc. Chemistry to its programmes. In March 2018, the Department of Chemical Sciences was further split into two: the Department of Pure and Applied Chemistry and the Department of Biochemistry. The Department of Pure and Applied Chemistry (PAC) has been successfully running its academic degree programmes without losing any accreditation by the National University Commission (NUC). Today, the Department has grown in student and staff population, as well as infrastructural strength. This development is the springboard and solid foundation for the kick-off of postgraduate programmes in 2019, which have successfully produced quite a number of M.Sc. and PhD graduates.

Mission:
Our mission is to teach, train and transform our students into well-sought professionals, with sound knowledge of scientific principles and methods, who can compete favourably with their global counterparts for employment and research developments.

Vision:
Our vision is to be a centre of excellence in providing high-quality teaching and learning experiences in Pure and Applied Chemistry. This will result in giving back to the society thorough-bred entrepreneurial graduates who can engage in impactful research, as well as provide necessary social, industrial, environmental and scientific solutions that can lead to job creation.

Physical Development:
We have three functional laboratories that serve the academic programmes of the Department. The laboratories are well-equipped for undergraduate practical work and projects, as well as cutting-edge research activities for postgraduate studies. All the staff members have offices that are well-equipped with the required and necessary facilities. Adequate classrooms and seminar rooms are provided for the teaching and learning of the students. The library is well-equipped with modern facilities and up-to-date books, publications and periodicals necessary for teaching and learning.Research Activities:The Department has been a leading element in advancing frontiers in research and knowledge within and outside Nigeria. Many members of the Department have published in reputable international journals. The Department has cordial relationships with the Chemical Society of Nigeria (CSN), the Institute of Chartered Chemists of Nigeria (ICCON) the American Chemical Society (ACS) and other research bodies.

Welcome Address/Introduction:

Welcome to the Department of Haematology and Blood Transfusion.
This department is dedicated mainly to the training of medical students and some allied health sciences students including Medical Laboratory Science.

Haematological diseases are common in our environment and these include Sickle Cell diseases (HbSS, HbSC), the Acute and Chronic leukamias and the Lymphomas. As a result it is an implicit component of the subjects the medical student must be conversant with in pathology (Faculty of basic Clinical Sciences)

The department is also involved in medical research with other disciplines and sister institutions.

We are also involved in organizing yearly blood drives to mark the world blood donation day.
So also dissemination of information to increase awareness of sickle cell disease is a priority for us and this is carried out every year by outreaches to the general population. Issues concerning HIV/AIDs are also disseminated to the public through the media (radio) on the 1st of December every year (Worlds AIDS Day).
The medical students are significantly involved in these programmes especially the first two programmes.

dr ma adelekeMonsuru Adeleke is an alumnus of Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta, Nigeria. He holds a Doctor of Philosophy degree with specialization in Public Health Entomology and Parasitology. He is a trainee of World Health Organization in Molecular Biology and Molecular Epidemiology. He is a member of Global Network in Genetic Barcoding of Life (Canada), Dipteran Morphometrics (USA),  Parasitology and Public Health Society of Nigeria, Entomological Society of Nigeria and Zoological Society of Nigeria. 

He began his academic career as a Demonstrator/Teaching Assistant in the Department of Biological Sciences, Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta in 2004 through 2007 before joining the workforce of Crescent University, Abeokuta as an Assistant Lecturer. He later joined the service of Nigerian Institute of Medical Research (NIMR), Lagos in 2008 as a Research Fellow in Public Health Division (Molecular Parasitology Unit). Due to his passion for teaching and research, he later withdrew his services from NIMR to join the Department of Biological Science, Osun State University, Osogbo in January, 2011. Presently, he is an Associate Professor of Public Health Entomology and Parasitology.

Adeleke is a researcher to the core with much interest in vector-borne diseases. Many of his research outputs have been adjudged as pioneering and novel by many international organizations. He was part of the international team commissioned by the World Health Organization (2007-2011) to unravel the incidence of cross-border migration of black flies along the border of Nigeria and Republic of Benin and its epidemiological implications in both countries. He also conducted the field research that led to the design of novel black fly dubbed Esperanza trap for the surveillance of onchocerciasis vectors in Africa and America under the supervision of Prof Thomas Unnasch (University of South Florida, USA) and Prof Mario Rodriguez-Perez (IPN-CBG, Mexico).

The design of Esperanza trap solved the age-long global research expedition of providing viable replacement for human landing collection which has been a subject of serious ethical criticism for the surveillance of onchocerciasis vectors. The trap was evaluated in Mexico for onchocerciasis elimination programme and the results compared favourably with human landing collections. The use of the trap for vector surveillance has been adopted by International organizations and National bodies such as African Programme for Onchocerciasis Control (APOC), Jimmy Carter Centre (USA), Federal Ministry of Health in Mexico, Nigeria, Ghana, Ethiopia, Burkina-Faso, Uganda, and several others. The publication from the research won World Health Organization/ Pan American Health Organization Best Public Health Literature of the year 2014.  The latest of his ground breaking research output has just been published by Systematics Entomology (A societal Journal owned by Royal Entomological Society, United Kingdom). The article provides answer to a long debated hypothesis in black fly taxonomy that the members of Simulium damnosum complex are from incomplete ancestral polymorphism. This research was conducted through collaboration with the Applied Entomology Unit of University of Lagos, Nigeria and Auburn University, USA. 

Adeleke has served as Principal Investigator/ Co-investigator in six international and two local research grants and Commissioned studies in the past; and he is currently serving as Principal Investigator for one international and two local research grants/commissioned studies. He has visited quite number of countries and collaborated with scientists in different regions of the world. Adeleke has over sixty (60) published articles to his credit.
