The Security Division is one of the Units under the Vice Chancellor’s Office. It is saddled with the responsibility of enforcing some of the University’s rules and regulations. It is also charged with the responsibility of protecting lives and properties in the campuses including the University communities located outside the two campuses. The University Security Division is committed to the safety and welfare of students, staff and visitors through the creation of best practices that support the University’s vision, mission and goals.
The University Security Unit has strengthened it's security arrangements in both Campuses by increasing the number of its patrols especially at night, maintained extra vigilance considering the pattern of attack as being experienced in the country. The Security Unit has chosen to be proactive by adopting remedial security measures. Remedy, in this sense means identification of the precise challenge or risks, vulnerabilities and threats and their likely effects on the University community with a view to preventing or limiting them.
All these are achieved through Community policing, Inter Service Cooperation, Security Awareness and Education.
