The office of Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Administration) was created in 1975 with Professor Modilim Achufusi as the pioneer DVC.  The principal objective of the DVC (Admin.) is to assist the Vice-Chancellor in the discharge of his functions. The office was created because of the need to assist the Vice-Chancellor in the discharge of the weighty schedule of giving both administrative and academic leadership to the entire university community.

The Legal Unit of the Vice-Chancellor’s Office was established to cater for the increasing legal needs and or problems of the University. Thus because of the needs to advise the University Administration on the legal needs of the University and the increasing litigation arising from Staff , Students of the University and others individuals or bodies, the establishment of what is today known and or called “ Legal Unit” was nurtured. The University, from inception, had always retained a private Legal Practitioner to handle its day-to-day litigation in Court.

The University has an Office of the Students’ Affairs which manages the Halls of Residence, promotes the intellectual, social, psychological and religious welfare of students and co-ordinates a variety of student activities planned by a number of student organisations. It also takes care of students’ conduct and discipline.

The Physical Planning Unit is charged with the responsibility of continuously planning, coordinating, monitoring, processing and evaluating the physical implementation of the University master plan.
