For strategic development of the University, a central reserve fund has been set
up to support projects initiated by faculties and departments that will have impacts on teaching, learning, and research. A ve-year capital expenditure plan has been drawn up and budget has been set aside for improvement of the University’s infrastructure in the areas of information technology, equipment and premises, etc., with a view to providing better facilities in supporting the University’s expanding activities.
The University’s nancial position has become stronger with total accumulated funds of over $1 billion at the end of this nancial year which increases its capacity for providing funding support to the future development of the University in the coming years.
