Policy and practice on staff development

Staff training and development is taken up both internally and externally through the organization of M.Sc. programmes for Graduate Assistants and Ph.D. Programmes for others. The University encourages its staff by paying the relevant P.G. fees and postgraduate studies allowances. In order to improve the capacity of staff to meet modern challenges many staff members are sponsored to attend local and international conference/workshops once in a year.

The University sponsors staff to selected institutions abroad for short visit under the Mc/Arthur and Carnegie foundations. Staff are also sponsored for special PG programmes through the PTDF and TETFUND scholarships. Staff also benefit from grants by University Board of Research.
