Overview

As a university with the aim of training competent first-class human resource for national development and the world at large, we stretch out to engage the best of skilled labour capable of meeting the core mandate of the University. Effective practical training, research, dissemination of knowledge and other extension services are carried out by teaching staff with the support of professional and other essential staff who are all highly qualified.

To realise this, the Directorate of Human Resource (DHR) is committed to providing all the support required by staff of the university such as ensuring the timely recruitment, staff selection placement and promotions; generating and managing staff data and information; training and professional development.

To further deepen the confidence of staff in the Directorate, efforts are continually made to de-mystify systems and processes by availing documents one needs in addressing their human resource related issues. The DHR page is here to provide all HR information you need through the digitalized structures that are continually being enhanced for ease of accessibility.

We are open to you virtually and if urgent, in person. Your suggestions and comments are welcome to keep serving you better.
