The Vice Chancellor, Professor Ibrahim Umar, approved these faculties to diversify the university’s academic programmes and strengthen its reputation as a leading institution.

Newly Established Faculties

This expansion reflects the university’s commitment to academic progress and the development of essential skills for students.
