INTRODUCTION When the University was established in 1962 with the motto “For Learning and Culture”, an Institute of African Studies was put in place to actualize the culture aspect of the motto. The Institute was expanded in 1966 and divisions, which included Art and Art History as well as Archaeology and Museum, were carved out. The Institute’s staff conducted in-depth research into various aspects of African Culture such as Art, Music, Drama, African Languages and Literatures. In addition, the Research Fellows in Art and Art history were by 1968/69 session, offering service courses to students in the Faculty of Education and later in the Faculty of Arts. The first set of B.A. (Fine Arts/Education) students graduated in 1974 while the first set of B.A. (Hons) Fine Arts students graduated in 1976, a year after the establishment of a full-fledged Fine Arts Department. A turning point came in 1989 when, by virtue of the National Universities Commission Approved Minimum Standards in Environmental Sciences for all Nigerian Universities, the Department of Fine Arts was moved from the Faculty of Arts to the Faculty of Environmental Design and Management. Slight modifications were made to the degree programme brought over from the parent Faculty. A new programme, which represents a major restructuring in order to bring the Department in line with the Faculty structure and modern developments in the Visual Arts, is now presented. The Department encourages its best products to make a career in teaching. This policy has yielded positive results over the years. At present, over ninety percent of its current members of the academic staff are trained within, up to Ph.D. Level; while few are currently on their Ph.D. programmes as well. The students/staff relationship is regulated by the appropriate University rules and regulations. This, notwithstanding, students' welfare is rules and regulations. This, notwithstanding, students' welfare is addressed through various Departmental sub-committees and units. The Part Advisers attend to students' academic and administrative concerns. At the beginning of the semester, it is the responsibility of advisers to guide the students on the minimum workload, relevant, compulsory and outstanding courses. The advisers are also expected to monitor the academic progress of their students and offer necessary guide. At present, students write their mobile phone numbers on their files in the Department for easy communication and fast dissemination of urgent information. Stephen Folárànmí (Ph.D.) Ag.
