The philosophy of GO University is based on the nature of human person as a social being, as a dialogue-seeking being. From this point of view; the university understands education as dialogical process of acquisition and dissemination of knowledge. Thus; the philosophy of the Chemistry programme is birthed in the GO University philosophy viz. Education as dialogical process of acquisition and dissemination of knowledge.

The programme is fashioned towards producing graduates with an adequate / broad understanding of the basic concepts of Chemistry complemented with applications oriented courses that will advance the productive capacity of the graduates. The programme trains personnel to the highest academic standards in the provision of a firm basis for creative work in the fields of chemical sciences and technology and offering a critical background for several other professional applied science disciplines. The Department’s goal is to provide a broad background in theoretical, experimental, and operational elements of Chemistry as they apply to the Chemical Industry.

This would provide Nigeria and Africa with a new generation of well-trained high-level professionals capable of applying Chemistry principles to national and international development. The use of current analytical technologies and their environmental applications are stressed equally. In a nutshell, the Industrial Chemistry curriculum focuses on the discovery and use of chemical knowledge to solving man’s problems.
