The Security and Safety department is responsible for the effective operation and enforcement of the Security policy and procedures. To enhance security, the University has installed several security features which include perimeter wall, modern gate, floodlights and surveillance cameras (CCTV) complimented by a strong security team that is professional and firm.
The mandate of the department is to protect assets (people, information, infrastructure and facilities) and service appropriately, proportionate to the threats and in a way that supports and does not inhibit delivery of University services.
