Head of Department

Welcome to the Department of Railway Engineering at the Federal University of Transportation, Daura — Nigeria's premier institution dedicated exclusively to the science and management of transportation.

Railway engineering is arguably the most critical discipline in Nigeria's infrastructural renaissance. Our department prepares engineers to design, construct, and maintain the tracks, rolling stock, signalling systems, and safety infrastructure that form the backbone of modern rail networks.

With FUTD's unique positioning as a transport-focused university, our graduates enjoy unparalleled exposure to real railway projects, industry partnerships with the Nigerian Railway Corporation, and international exchange programmes. I warmly welcome you to be part of this exciting frontier.
