DIRECTORATE OF RESEARCH AND EXTERNAL RELATIONS (DRER)

INTRODUCTION

In line with the Vice-Chancellor’s development plan for the university as encapsulated in his 14-point agenda, particularly beaming focus on agenda numbers 1 and 14; the Directorate of Research and External Relations (DRER) was conceptualized and birthed vide a Management decision on Tuesday 5th February, 2019 to merge the erstwhile Linkages and External Relations Unit with the Research arm of Directorate of Academic Planning, Quality Assurance and Research (DAPQAR) to form a broad based and inter-related unit; which, while being the interface between the University and the outside world would also expose academics and by extension the university at large to the world’s best practices, especially in research.
