Led by the Registrar, the Registry serves as a coordinating force for various departments, aiming for efficiency and optimal performance.
The Personnel Division is the core of the Registry and is basically concerned with Human Resource management. This Division is saddled with the responsibility of recruitment/appointment of personnel, promotion of staff, welfare and capacity building, processing of leave, processing of retirement/exit and discipline of erring staff. It also ensures proper establishment and job description for staff members. It has the following units:
This Unit is vested with the responsibility of handling all academic staff matters in the university. The academic staff includes all persons appointed as teaching or research staff including professional librarians of the University. The Unit operates through the Appointment and Promotion Board headed by the Vice-Chancellor.
This Unit is solely responsible for handling all senior administrative and technical staff matters in the University. This category of staff is usually from level 6 to15. The Unit operates through the Administrative and Technical Staff Committee also headed by the Vice-Chancellor.
The Unit takes care of the appointments, promotions, discipline and other welfare needs of the junior staff of the University. This category consists of non-academic staff on levels 1 to level 5. The Unit operates through the Junior Staff Appointment and Promotion Board headed by the Registrar and Secretary to Council.
The Unit plays a key role in making sure personnel are acquainted with rules, regulations, traditions and ethical codes of practice governing their employment. The primary aim is to ensure that stakeholders in the University get adequate service at all times. In achieving this task, the Unit identifies both local and international conferences, workshops, symposiums and study tours that can benefit and develop members of staff with appropriate administrative skills required to drive the University’s vision and mission.
The Unit is to ensure that safety and health standards are maintained in the work environment at all times. In addition, it handles other duties not assigned to a particular department/unit in the Registry. However the routine duties include; ensuring the University environment is kept clean at all times, courier services, maintaining residential and phone directory of members of staff. This Unit is also the secretariat to the Student Welfare Board, Minor Contract Committee, Campus Local Trading and Site Allocation Monitoring Committee and the Staff Uniforms Committee.
The Unit takes care of pension related issues for all categories of staff retiring from the University services. It also educates staff on the Pension Act and other contemporary issues relating to pension in Nigeria.
