BRIEF HISTORY OF WORKS AND MAINTENANCE
The Department of works and Maintenance is a service oriented Department in the University; it started since the inception of the University in January 2002 with some staff that transferred their services fro the College of Arts Science and Technology.
The increase in the size of the University gave birth to the demand of more equipments and staff.
The secretariat of the Directorate was temporarily located in senior staff quarters (S.S.Q.1) until May 2006 when it was now relocated to the present permanent site constructed by the staff of the Directorate under direct labour.
