FOREWORD
The Centre for Disaster Risk Management and Development Studies
(CDRM&DS) is one of the seven academic Centres in the University of
Maiduguri and is the pioneer that has been established with the sole aim of
training postgraduate students. It is a multidisciplinary Centre that taps
expertise from the whole University community.
The Centre published the first edition of the prospectus covering the
period 2010/2015. This edition 2015/2020 captures the participating staff, the
revised course codes in conformity with the NUC MAS for postgraduate
programmes. It also covered the general regulations governing the issuance of
the Postgraduate Diploma certificates and the Master's degree.
I am convinced that this prospectus will provide the information required
by stakeholders pertaining to policies aimed at mitigating the effects of risks
and vulnerabilities that confront Nigerians on daily basis. In addition, I also
believe that this prospectus will serve as a medium through which individuals,
local government councils and state governments will come to know the efforts
being made by the University in mitigating the debilitating effects of disasters in
the ecologically marginal North East geo-political zone. It is hoped also that
through this prospectus stakeholders will eventually be freed from ignorance of
the efforts that have been embarked upon by the government to reduce the
impact of disasters.

PREAMBLE
The University of Maiduguri was established in 1975 and was mandated
to train people in various areas of endeavour. It has established several linkages
with international and national organizations to address topical issues that
confront the Nigerian economy. These include the EU funded UnimaidSilsoe
College; Cranfield University linkage between 1990 to 1996 that addressed the
problem of aridity in the North-East Arid Zone of Nigeria; the Unimaid-Frankfurt
University; Germany Linkage (1994-1998) that addressed socio-econmic
problem and the UniMaidFEPA linkage that addressed issues of desertification
and general environmental degradation in the NE of Nigeria. Presently, the
University has entered into a partnership with the Group on Earth Observations
(GEO), Geneva for comprehensive and sustained early warning from a
multitude of instruments worldwide. This is largely to support the 7th MDG
(Environmental Sustainability). It is within the framework of GEO and
International GEOspatial Society (IGS) that few ground stations have emerged
in Africa, namely, Johannesburg for Southern Africa Development Corporation
(SADC); Nairobi and Kigali for EAST Africa; Cairo and Algiers for north Africa;
Niamey for West Africa and Maiduguri (Unimaid) covering the entire West and
Central Africa.
The establishment of the National Emergency Management Agency
(NEMA) is a major step towards a holistic approach in addressing issues relating
to emergencies and disasters in the country. The goal was the mainstreaming
of disaster risk reduction (DRR) into sustainable development in the country.
One major step towards the realization of this new paradigm shift in disaster
management in this country is the establishment of six Centres for Disaster Risk
Management and Development Studies (CDRM&DS) in each of the geopolitical
zones. The CDRM&DS, University of Maiduguri is therefore the vehicle through
which the partnership between the University of Maiduguri and the National
Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) is being executed.

VISION
To become a Centre of excellence in disaster risk management and
sustainable development through training, research, community services and
public awareness.
MISSION
The mission of the Centre is to produce graduates that will transmit
knowledge of disaster risk reduction to the citizenry with the view to achieving
sustainable development.
PHILOSOPHY
The philosophy of the Center for Disaster Risk Management and
Development Studies is focused on the training of students that revere values
such as knowledge, the environment, sound moral values and basic skills that
facilitate appreciation of the interaction between the physical and the human
environment as they affect humanity. Graduates from the Center should
cherish research, knowledge, the environment, environmental processes and
sustainable environmental use and above all, have sound morals/ ethics and
skills. They should at the end of their studies be able to tackle environmental
issues that confront the country and the world at large.
