 Message from the Dean

Vision

At present, the Dean’s office, in addition to the routine activities, is trying hard to go into partnership with Faculty Alumni and Alumnae, as well as other scientists and the private sector in a drive to attracting more facilities to the Faculty. At the same time, efforts are being made to rekindle the interest of our young colleagues and students in basic science by emphasizing the importance of each discipline in Industry, Technology and daily routine activities of man. Many of our young colleagues from different Departments are undergoing training leading to PhD in various institutions abroad. In addition, capacity building through postgraduate training of staff on ground, seminars, workshops and conferences are also be encouraged and pursued vigorously. It is gratifying, however, to note that many of our alumni are doing well in private and public sectors and contributing effectively to socio-economic development.

Objectives

  • To coordinate the academic and administrative activities of the Faculty and forward recommendations to the appropriate committees and units of the University.
