HISTORICAL BACKGROUND

The Department of Mass Communication, Kaduna State University, was established during the 2006/2007 academic year to run a four-year B.Sc. degree programme through the collective efforts of Professor Innocent Okoye, Prof. Ntim G. Esew, Dr. Joe DeGoshie, Prof. Bashir Ali, Dr. Suleiman Salau, Dr. Tukur Abdulqadir, and a few academics from sister Departments.  Thirty-one students were registered into 100 Level in the 2006/2007 session, one of whom later withdrew from the program.  By the 2008/2009 academic year, however, the department saw a remarkable increase in the demand for the program, as 391 students applied, indicating an unprecedented demand for the B.Sc. Mass Communication program of the Kaduna State University.  Presently, 2023, our undergraduate program alone has almost 800 fully registered students.

In the quest to provide an ideal learning environment for the study of Mass Communication and to merge theory with practice, to produce students who are well-armed with knowledge of the field, the Management of the University approved the establishment of two radio studios and one television studio with their accompanying control rooms, a photo laboratory, two editing suites (audio and video), a production/editing studio, a Public Relations and Advert production studio, a Departmental library and an E-learning center.  The existing structure in the Department was expanded as well to create more staff offices and common areas.

With quality academic tutoring and well-equipped modern studios for practicals, our students have since begun to make a name for themselves within the media industry, proving the quality of the tutoring they received from the Kaduna State University Mass communication program.
