The department of physics is one of the seven departments in the school of secondary education, science programme. It was established and became operational in the College as far back as 1999, with Mr. Anikpa, Patrick Oraduen as the pioneer head of department. In recent times, the department has grown tremendously both in terms of staff strength and student population.

Administratively, the department is run by the departmental board, with the head of department as the Chairman and other academic staff as members. The departmental board from time to time reviews the programmes of the department and makes appropriate recommendations where necessary to the academic board of the College for approval. The departmental board also moderates examination results and considers cases of examination malpractice in the department and forwards them to the examination malpractice committee for further appropriate action.

Since the inception of the department twenty-three years ago, there has been a tremendous improvement in terms of staff strength and training, and has graduated various sets of students.

Currently, the department has a student-population of about seventy students running through NCE I - 3. Also, within this period, the department has been headed by six different heads of department (HODs), as shown below in successions:
