The Centre runs a Postgraduate Diploma and thMasters in Disaster Risk Management that were approved at the 247Senate.The aim of the partners was to train high level manpower in the field of disaster risk reduction (DRR). The Centre admitted eighteen (18) Postgraduate Diploma (17havegraduated)andseventyeight(78)MastersinDisasterRisk Managementstudents(55havegraduated)duringthe2010/2011session, twenty five (25) Postgraduate Diploma (21 have graduated) and one hundred and eight (108) (75 have graduated) Masters in Disaster Risk Management students during the 2012/13 session and twelve (12) Postgraduate Diploma and eighty eight (88) Masters in Disaster Risk Management students during the 2013/2014 session.Thesupportfromthepartnersinthelinkage,theGoverningand Academic Boards of the Centre has facilitated the publishing of the second edition '2015 -2020' prospectus. It is hoped that this manual will provide the basicinformationthatwillpreparethereadertoappreciatetheissuesof disaster risk management in the society that is run by the Centre.Professor U.M. Maryah(Director)xivFOREWORDTheCentreforDisasterRiskManagementandDevelopmentStudies (CDRM&DS)isoneofthesevenacademicCentresintheUniversityof Maiduguri and is the pioneer that has been established with the sole aim of trainingpostgraduatestudents.ItisamultidisciplinaryCentrethattaps expertise from the whole University community.TheCentrepublishedthefirsteditionoftheprospectuscoveringthe period 2010/2015. This edition 2015/2020 captures the participating staff, the revisedcoursecodesinconformitywiththeNUCMASforpostgraduate 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.Professor Ibrahim Abubakar Njodi(Vice Chancellor)xvxviTABLE OF CONTENTS Title Page - - - - - - - - - - iPreface- - - - - - - - - - xivForward- - - - - - - - - - xvPreamble - - - - - - - - - - xviiPhilosophy - - - - - - - - - -Vision - - - - - - - - - - xixMission - - - - - - - - - - xixxixOrganizational Structure of the Centre - - - - - 1General Regulations Governing the Programmes - - - 3Nature of the Programmes - - - - - - - 3Objectives of the Programmes - - - - - - 3Application - - - - - - - - - - 4Registration - - - - - - - - - 4Duration of the Courses - - - - - - - - 4Postgraduate Diploma in Disaster Risk Management - - - 5Masters in Disaster Risk Management & Development Studies - 10Academic Staff for the Teaching of the Programme - - - 19Examination Related Offences - - - - - - 20PREAMBLEThe University of Maiduguri was established in 1975 and was mandated to train people in various areas of endeavour. It has established several linkages withinternationalandnationalorganizationstoaddresstopicalissuesthat 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;GermanyLinkage(1994-1998)thataddressedsocio-econmic problem and the UniMaidFEPA linkage that addressed issues of desertification andgeneralenvironmentaldegradationintheNEofNigeria.Presently,the University has entered into a partnership with the Group on Earth Observations (GEO),Genevaforcomprehensiveandsustainedearlywarningfroma multitude of instruments worldwide. This is largely to support the 7th MDG (EnvironmentalSustainability).ItiswithintheframeworkofGEOand 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.TheestablishmentoftheNationalEmergencyManagementAgency (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.xvii Funded under the aegis of the NEMA-UNIMAID linkage agreement, the multidisciplinaryCentrehasbeenrunningpost-graduateprogrammesthat haveledtotheawardofMastersinDisasterRiskManagementandPost-graduate Diploma in Disaster Risk Management since the 2010/2011 session. TheCentrehasgraduatedabouttwohundredandthirtystudentssinceits inception and has just completed the admission of about sixty students for the 2014/2015session.Thesetwoprogrammeshavethereforeimmensely contributed to the manpower resources of the country particularly with regards to disaster risk management and educating the populace on ways to reduce disaster/riskandensuresustainableusageoftheNigerianspaceand resources. It is hoped that these graduates will in turn educate the general public in relation to disaster proneness of the society.xviiiVISIONTobecomeaCentreofexcellenceindisasterriskmanagementand sustainable development through training, research, community services and public awareness.MISSIONThemissionoftheCentreistoproducegraduatesthatwilltransmit knowledge of disaster risk reduction to the citizenry with the view to achieving sustainable development.PHILOSOPHYThephilosophyoftheCenterforDisasterRiskManagementand 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 environmentastheyaffecthumanity.GraduatesfromtheCentershould cherish research, knowledge, the environment, environmental processes and sustainable environmental use and above all, have sound morals/ ethics and skills.
