Nurturing Talents & Competences
NURTURING TALENTS AND COMPETENCIES
It is with great pleasure that I welcome on behalf of the entire Baze University Community, the new students who just joined us and congratulate the returning students who are successful in examinations and proceeded to the next level of studies. Similarly, I congratulate our successful graduands who will receive their awards at the 7th& 8th Convocation Ceremonies of 2021.
Last year was an exceptionally difficult period following the outbreak of Covid-19, which challenged our normal wellbeing as well as disrupting in-person educational services worldwide. Baze University was one of the few institutions worldwide that leveraged its robust ICT infrastructure to maintain services and calendar uninterrupted. We commend staff and students who squared up to this challenge successfully. The University will continue to address the consequential effects of the Covid Pandemic and exploit the opportunities associated with it.
This year, Baze University celebrates its 10th year in existence providing quality education. Over the last decade the University had carved a niche for itself as a center of excellence in the disciplines it offers, namely - Law, Engineering, Computing and Applied Sciences, Management & Social Sciences and Environmental Sciences. Recently, we added Medical Sciences to the programmes we offer and we are commissioning a 200 Bed Hospital to support academic activities and provide state of the art medical services in the Country. Our university is acknowledged for its quality of services with a robust platform for students to pursue their educational aspirations for a lifelong career of their choice. The University with a retinue of high-quality staff creates an all-inclusive suitable environ-ment for learning, sports, recreation and appropriate social engagements. This ensures that the graduates we produce are competent in knowledge, skills and values thus giving them leverage for immediate employment.
To safeguard the quality and sanctity of its certificates, the University ensures that programmes due for accreditation are duly accredited by relevant regulatory bodies. Consequently, all the programmes offered in the University have been accredited by the National Universities Commission and other professional regulatory bodies.
Since the last Convocation, the University had hosted major academic events, local and international conferences, etc. We also had the unique opportunity of hosting special guests. In particular, Her Excellency Amina Ibrahim, the Deputy UN Secretary General came as a Guest Lecturer at a Faculty of Law Seminar. It was a great mentoring event for the young people of our University.
The University has in place robust policies, practices and procedures that guide the conduct of all activities on the campus, assure quality in academic and other supporting services. Let me assure that the University will continue to collaborate with all our stakeholders- students, the Student’s Representative Council, parents, regulatory bodies and community to ensure that our dreams of an excellent center of learning that nurtures talents and competences remain our constant goal.
Prof. Tahir Mamman, OON, SAN Vice-Chancellor
