NMC holds several capacity development programmes
As an international centre of excellence in Mathematical Sciences, NMC holds Foundational Postgraduate Course, Research Oriented Courses and other capacity development programmes to raise more capacity across the nation in the fields of Mathematical Sciences, namely Mathematics, Computer Science, Statistics, Theoretical Physics and Mathematics Education.

Director's Message

I welcome you to the National Mathematical Centre, an International Centre of Excellence in Mathematical Sciences.
Since its establishment over thirty years ago, NMC has no doubt played vital roles in the development of Mathematics and Mathematical Sciences in Nigeria. As an Inter-University Centre, the NMC occupies a special place in the Nigerian Education system. Its unique role of inter-relating with all Universities and other tertiary institutions buttresses the fact that it is distinctly different from other research institutions.

In the same light, Research proposals on contemporary issues that are internationally competitive and nationally relevant, have been developed; thereby seeking Mathematical solutions to some national challenges in the area of economy, agriculture, environment, health, security, etc.

Director/Chief Executive, NMC
