History
The Federal University Dutse (FUD), received its charter from the Federal Government of Nigeria on February 9, 2011. The University is located in the capital city of Jigawa State, Dutse, an ancient town in north-western Nigeria, with easy access to major metropolitan areas such as Kano, Bauchi, Maiduguri, and Kaduna. In view of the urgent need to commence the medical program, approval for the establishment of Faculty of Basic Medical Sciences, with Department of Anatomy, Physiology and Medical Biochemistry in it was given. Following the senate’s approval, efforts were made to put the necessary physical structure in place. In addition to this, arrangements were made to procure all the necessary equipment and to employ relevant staff.
Vision
The Department hoped to be the heart of the Physiology training Department in the North West region, Nigeria, Africa, and the world at large.
Mission
The mission of the Department of Physiology is to provide the necessary training for Medical, Dental and Paramedical students to be among the best in the world, and to provide adequate trained manpower and resources available to trained undergraduate and postgraduate.
