The Department of Wood and Paper Technology is one of the pioneer departments in the Federal College of Forestry, Ibadan. The department was created and granted initial approval in 1996 to carry out training and research at National Diploma (ND) level in Wood and Paper Technology. The programme has since been re-accredited by the National Board for Technical Education (NBTE), the official accrediting institution, with approval given for Higher National Diploma (HND) in Wood Technology. The academic programme is run on full-time and part-time basis.
While the full-time programme for regular students at each level runs for two years of two semesters each, the part-time programme covers three semesters over a period of two years. The academic programme of the department is designed to produce middle-level technical manpower (technicians/technologists), capable of producing and analyzing chemically, physically and biologically processed wood-based products such as sawn and seasoned timbers, plywood, furniture items, pulp and paper, particle board and fibre board, amongst others. In addition, graduates of the department are equipped with knowledge and skills to preserve wood and prevent its deterioration before utilization and in service. They are also trained to assist in forest regeneration.
Currently, a review of the departmental programme is being undertaken, with a view to re-branding the department and widening the scope of courses taught to cover bio-material science, bio-energy and bio-fuel processing. Consequently, a new departmental programme will be fashioned out to broadly focus on forest bio-materials and products. In this way, students will be trained to acquire knowledge and skills in discovering, processing and developing unique and quality bio-products for a better society.
The department also offers six-month vocational courses for award of certificate in Woodwork/Metalwork, Wood-waste Processing and Utilization.
To develop a well-rounded forestry professionals equipped with strong foundational knowledge in Wood and Paper Technology.
