Why Choose Our Institution
The University is part of the general socio-economic and political fabric of a given society. Throughout history, UNIVERSITIES have played three triumvirate/interlocking roles. These roles are: Teaching/instruction, Research and public service/community engagement
Teaching/instruction
Teacher effectiveness is manifested in instructional delivery where the teacher's pedagogy promotes the student's active participation. The teacher is able to cultivate students' thinking skills, stimulate their interests in the subject, motivate them to initiate their own learning
Research
Research: is a process of collecting, analyzing and interpreting data to understand a phenomenon. It is the systematic investigation into the study of materials and sources in order to establish facts and reach new conclusions
Community Service
The university's life is tied to that of the community hence the need for addressing the community's need.
