CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
1.0
PREAMBLE
The Enugu State University of Science and Technology is one of the oldest State
Government-owned Universities in Nigeria.
The University started as Anambra State
University of Technology in 1980, it became the Enugu State University of Science and
Technology following the creation of Enugu State in 1991. From inception to date, the
Enugu State University of Science and Technology has made its mark as a centre of academic
and research excellence reputed nationally and internationally. The University through its
academic and research programmes as well as its renowned academic staff has made
significant contributions to growth of knowledge, the development of Nigeria and to
development of its immediate community.
After about 33 years of operations as a full-fledged University, the Enugu State University of
Science and Technology has deemed it fit to reorganise and update its academic structure as
well as document its administrative operations through an Academic Brief.
Thus, this
Academic Brief has been prepared to capture the history of the development of the University
as well as its future direction of development.
1
1.1
HISTORICAL BACKGROUND
The Enugu State University of Science and Technology was originally founded as the
Anambra State University of Technology (ASUTECH) on July 30, 1980 by Law (cited as
Law No.7 of 1980) enacted by the then Anambra State House of Assembly. The enactment
of the Law establishing the University was accompanied by other historical landmarks,
among which were:
i.
the appointment of the renowned academic, Late Professor Kenneth Onwuka Dike, as
the first President and Chief Executive of the University;
ii.
the inauguration of the first Provisional Council of the University; and
iii.
the admission of the first batch of students.
These events culminated in the successful commencement of lectures at the Enugu Campus
of the University on 30 October, 1980. On 3 February, 1981, formal classes started at Awka
Campus of the University with 100 registered students who were originally at Enugu
Campus. Professor Dike was in 1984 succeeded by Professor C. A. Onwumechili, as the
President of the University. The University was conceived as a multi-campus University,
with its Headquarters located at Enugu the State Capital and other campuses located at
Abakaliki, Awka and Nnewi. On account of logistic problems, only the Enugu and Awka
campuses remained operational until 1987 when the other two campuses were opened. There
were only two faculties initially, namely: Faculty of Engineering; and Faculty of Life
Engineering.
2
This arrangement was in keeping with the special mandate given to the University to
undertake studies in all fields of learning while laying special emphasis on Science, Applied
Science and Technology. Prior to the rationalisation of courses which took place in August,
1982, the two campuses of the University (Enugu and Awka) offered identical
programmes with the result that Departments were duplicated on both campuses. In August
1982, Senate split the Faculty of Life Engineering into two: Faculty of Applied Biological
Sciences and Faculty of Applied Physical Sciences.
However, consequent upon the
rationalisation made by Senate in August 1982, and which was later approved by the then
Provisional Council, faculties and departments were re-located between the two campuses as
follows:
ENUGU
AWKA
FACULTY OF ENGINEERING
(a)

FACULTY OF APPLIED PHYSICAL SCIENCES

(b)

(b)

3
The foregoing arrangement took effect from September 1982 and subsisted until June 1985
when the academic programmes were expanded to include the following faculties: Education;
Environmental Sciences; Law and Social Sciences and Management Sciences.
Sequel to an unsuccessful attempt to merge the University with the Institute of Management
and Technology, Enugu, as a single entity in July 1985, the University Law of 1980 was
repealed and immediately replaced by the ASUTECH Edict No. 20 of 1985 reaffirming,
among other things, the philosophy and objectives of the founding fathers of the University
as well as its four-campus structure. The major impact of the 1985 Edict was as follows:
i.
Structurally it returned the University governance to the traditional University system
with Council and Senate as main organs of government and the Vice-Chancellor as
the Chief Executive;
ii.
It abolished duplication of faculties and distributed the faculties in the four campuses
as follows:
Enugu Campus
-
Engineering Technology and Management'
Sciences;
Awka Campus
-
Basic and Applied Sciences, Law and Social
Sciences;
Abakaliki Campus
-
Agricultural Sciences, including Aquaculture
and Veterinary Medicine;
Nnewi Campus
-
Health Sciences, including Medicine and
Dentistry; and
iii.
the establishment of the Interim Joint Council of ASUTECH with Professor C.
Nwokolo as the Chairman of Council.
4
Following the rationalisation of courses which the Interim Joint Council undertook in early
1986, the Faculty of Education collapsed and its constituent departments were re-located to
other faculties, while Educational Foundations continued to offer service courses to these
departments.
In November, 1986, Awka Campus of the University, which was closed in July 1985 when
the IMT and ASUTECH were merged, was re-opened. The IMT and ASUTECH became
separate institutions once more and Prof. C.A. Onwumechili, who resigned his appointment
as the Vice-Chancellor, was replaced in December 1986 by Prof. Chiweyite Ejike. Machinery
was set in motion in January 1987 for the commencement of classes at the Abakaliki and
Nnewi campuses of the University. In February I987, the two new campuses were officially
opened with the induction of newly admitted Pre-Science students.
In 1988, the then Visitor Col. Robert N. Akonobi ordered a visitation to the University and
the major outcome was a restructuring of the University into four semi-autonomous colleges,
in Enugu, Awka, Abakaliki and Nnewi, each headed by a Deputy Vice-Chancellor and
having a Court of Governors and an Academic Board. The Vice-Chancellor and the other
principal officers at the University Headquarters played essentially coordinating roles.
Following the creation by the Federal Military Government of Enugu State out of the former
Anambra State, on 27 August, 1991, the Headquarters of the ASUTECH at Enugu, and the
colleges of the University at Enugu and Abakaliki were constituted into the Enugu State
University of Science and Technology by the Enugu State of Nigeria Edict No.3 of 1991. At
the same time, the College of Applied Natural and Social Sciences and the College of Health
5
Sciences were established in Adada-Nkpologu (Nsukka) and Abakaliki respectively. The
Faculties of Law and Education and the Institute of Education, were also established at
Enugu. The Enugu State University of Science and Technology retained the Headquarters,
existing staff and students, and the logo of the former ASUTECH. The University's motto
remained 'Technology for Service' and the aims and objectives of the founding fathers,
remained unchanged.
The four colleges of the University, each headed by a Head of
Campus, were located as follows:
i.
College of Engineering and Technology, Enugu;
ii.
College of Agricultural Sciences Abakaliki;
iii.
College of Applied Natural and Social Sciences Adada-Nkpologu, Nsukka; and
iv.
College of Health Sciences, Abakaliki.
With the creation of Ebonyi State and the subsequent transformation of the Colleges of
Agriculture and Medicine at Abakaliki into full-fledged University, Enugu State University
of Sciences and Technology started new Colleges of Agriculture and Medicine in Enugu. The
inception
of
democratic
governance
in

LOCATION OF THE UNIVERSITY
The Enugu State University of Science and Technology is located in Enugu State. Enugu
State is located in the South-East of Nigeria, and is one of the thirty-six States constituting
the Nigerian Federation. It came into being on 27 August 1991 when the administration of
President Ibrahim Babangida finally acquiesced to the long agitations of Wawa people for a
State they could truly call their own.
Enugu State derives its name from the capital city, ENUGU (top of the hill) which is
regarded as the oldest urban area in the Igbo speaking area of South-East Nigeria. The city
owes its geopolitical significance to the discovery of coal in 1909 by a team of British
geologists. The discovery of the solid mineral in the area brought about the emergence of a
permanent cosmopolitan settlement which influenced the construction of a railway line to
link the Enugu coal fields with the sea port in Port-Harcourt for the export of the mineral.
By 1917, Enugu had acquired township status and assumed strategic importance to British
interests. Foreign businesses began to move into Enugu, the most notable of which were John
Holt, Kingsway Store, United Bank of West Africa and United Africa Company. By 1929,
Enugu had become the capital of the former Eastern Region, and has since then retained its
old status as the regional administrative and political capital and rallying point of the Igbo
people. The principal cities in the State are Enugu, Agbani, Awgu, Udi, Oji River, and
Nsukka. The State has an approximate population of 5,590,513 people and Igbo as its
language. There are presently 17 Local Government Areas, namely: Aninri, Awgu, Enugu
East, Enugu North, Enugu South, Ezeagu, Igbo Etiti, Igbo Eze North, Igbo Eze South, Isi
Uzo, Nkanu East, Nkanu West, Nsukka, Oji River, Udenu, Udi, and Uzo Uwani. Enugu State
7
has an airport which is approximately an hour drive from its major cities. Enugu State shares
borders with Abia State and Imo State to the South, Ebonyi State to the East, Benue State to
the North-East, Kogi State to the North-West and Anambra State to the West.
Enugu, the capital city of Enugu State, is approximately two and a half driving hours away
from Port-Harcourt, where coal shipments exited Nigeria. Enugu is also located within an
hour's drive from Onitsha, one of the biggest commercial cities in Africa and two hours’
drive from Aba, another very large commercial city, both of which are trading centres in
Nigeria. The average temperature in the city is 15.50 C in its cooler months and 26.60 C in the
warm months.
Enugu has good soil-land and good climatic conditions all year round. Sitting at about 223
meters (732 ft.) above sea level, the soil is well drained during its rainy seasons. The mean
temperature in Enugu State in the hottest month of February is about 30.640 C (87.160 F),
while the lowest temperatures occur in the month of November, reaching 15.860 C (60.540 F).
The lowest rainfall of about 0.16 cubic centimeters (0.0098 cu in) is normal in February,
while the highest is about 35.7 cubic centimeters (2.18 cu in) in July.
Enugu State has rich agricultural land as a result of its location within the tropical forest and
savannah belts. Consequently, almost every tropical crop thrives in the State. Over 60% of
the population are farmers growing food crops such as rice, cassava, maize, yams, banana,
plantain, ground nuts, and a variety of fruits and vegetables. Cash crops such as palm
produce and cashew are also produced in large quantities.
8
Enugu State is endowed with a lot of tourist resources, facilities and potentials. These exist in
natural features such as lakes, caves, hills, falls, and springs. Cultural festivals as well as
such man-made features like hotels, telecommunications and transportation outfits, galleries
and monumental or archaeological collections are also common features in Enugu State.
Some of the existing tourist events in Enugu include the Mmanwu Festival, New Yam
Festival (Iri-ji), the Ezeagu Tourist Complex, the Opi Lake Complex, the Ugwueme and Udi
Hills, etc.
Economically, Enugu State is predominantly rural and agrarian, with a substantial proportion
of its working population engaged in farming, although trading (18.8%) and services (12.9%)
are also important. In the urban areas trading is the dominant occupation, followed by
services. A small proportion of the population is also engaged in manufacturing activities,
with the most pronounced among them located in Enugu, Oji, Ohebedim and Nsukka.
Every community in Enugu State has at least one primary/elementary school and one
secondary school, funded and run by the State Government. There are also large numbers of
private nursery, primary and secondary schools in Enugu State.
Nigeria's first indigenous University, University of Nigeria, Nsukka (UNN), is located in
Enugu State. The State also hosts important schools across all levels such as the: Enugu State
University of Science and Technology (ESUT); Institute of Management and Technology
(IMT), Enugu; Enugu State College of Education Technical, Enugu; Caritas University,
Amorji-Nike; Renaissance University, Ugbawka; Federal College of Education, Eha-Amufu;
Federal School of Dental Technology and Therapy, Enugu; Federal Government College,
Enugu; College of Immaculate Conception, Enugu; Queen’s School, Enugu, a preeminent
9
high school for girls in the Eastern region; Special Science Boys' Secondary School, Agbani;
St. Patrick's Secondary School, Emene; Bigard Memorial Seminary, Enugu; Awgu County
College, Nenwe; Community Secondary School, Ugbo; Corpus Christi College, Achi, Royal
Crown Academy, Nsukka; and Our Saviour Institute of Science and Technology, Enugu.
There are also a host of private computer schools and training centres concentrated in Enugu
and Nsukka.
1.2.1 UNIVERSITY SITE
The Enugu State University of Science and Technology was established as a non-residential
multi-campus institution.
On establishment, the University which was conceived on a
Presidential model after Harvard University made impressive landmarks and stamped its
name as the first University of Technology and first State University in Nigeria with her main
campus at Enugu. Other campuses that were created later were located at Abakaliki, Awka
and Nnewi. At inception, only two faculties namely, Engineering and Life Engineering were
established at the two functional campuses at Enugu and Awka. Later Faculty of Life
Engineering was split into Faculty of Applied Biological Sciences and Faculty of Applied
Physical Sciences, shared between Enugu and Awka Campuses.
In 1985, there were major re-organisations and policies resulting in the introduction of new
programmes and the merging of the University with its sister polytechnic – IMT. The new
faculties created then were faculties of Education, Environmental Sciences, Health Sciences,
Law, Social Sciences, Management Sciences and Agricultural Sciences, etc. The two merged
institutions operated unsuccessfully under one Interim Joint Council (IJC) with Prof.
Onwumechili as the President and Prof. J.C. Ene of IMT as Deputy President until December
1986 when it was demerged.
10
By 1987 the four campuses had kicked off in earnest with Abakaliki campus housing
Agricultural Sciences and Veterinary Medicine, while Awka campus was for students of
Basic Applied Sciences, Law and Social Sciences, Nnewi campus catered for Health Sciences
comprising Medicine and Dentistry while the main campus in Enugu housed Engineering and
Management Sciences.
Each of the campuses had a Deputy Vice-Chancellor as the
administrative head.
In 1991, following the creation of Enugu State from the old Anambra State the new
Government changed name from Anambra State University of Technology (ASUTECH) to
Enugu State University of Science and Technology.
At that time, the two former campuses of ASUTECH at Awka and Nnewi became the State
University for Anambra State which today has been taken over by the Federal Government
and renamed Nnamdi Azikiwe University, while the Enugu and Abakaliki campuses on the
other hand formed the Enugu State University of Science and Technology. The Enugu State
University of Science and Technology however retained and adopted all the identities of the
old ASUTECH including its main campus, the logo, colour, anthem, philosophy, aims and
objectives among others. This re-packaged University established a new campus called
Adada Campus at Nkpologwu in Uzo-Uwani Local Government Area where students of
Applied Natural Sciences and Social Sciences were located. The University thus had three
campuses at Enugu, Abakaliki and Nsukka Zones of the State each headed by a Head of
Campus.
The creation of Ebonyi State from the old Enugu and Abia States in 1996 saw the Enugu
State University of Science and Technology forfeiting its campus at Abakaliki which houses
its Colleges of Medicine and Agriculture. The new State (Ebonyi) understandably converted
11
the campuses to a State University known today as Ebonyi State University. The Enugu State
University of Science and Technology on the other hand re-established its College of Health
Sciences at Nsukka until 2005 when it was relocated to Park Lane Enugu and named the
Enugu State University of Science and Technology College of Medicine/Teaching Hospital.
On February 14, 2006, the Enugu State University of Science and Technology under the
Vice-Chancellorship of Professor Ikechukwu Chidobem was moved from its temporary site
at Independence Layout Enugu to a befitting permanent structure built at Agbani in Nkanu
West L.G.A. and named Ebeano City. The Pre-Degree Programme which has been redesignated pre-degree is still at Nsukka, while the faculties of Engineering and Management
Sciences have remained at the old site in Enugu. Thus, the Enugu State University of Science
and Technology has three campuses at Agbani, Enugu and Nsukka. The address of the
University is:
Enugu State University of Science and Technology
Agbani
P.M.B. 01660, Enugu
Enugu State.

CHAPTER TWO
UNIVERSITY IDENTITY
2.0
PREAMBLE
The Enugu State University of Science and Technology has become a leading University in
Nigeria with an exceptionally earned status for quality teaching, research and community
service, meeting the goals and objectives of the people of Enugu State, Nigeria and the world
at large. This chapter presents the attributes that distinguish the Enugu State University of
Science and Technology in terms of its symbols and traditions as well as confer unique
characteristics on it. The unique identity for the University in terms of its name, logo, motto
and colours has been carefully selected to make sure that they represent its vision and
mission.
2.1
NAME OF THE UNIVERSITY
The name of the University is ‘Enugu State University of Science and Technology’ and the
rationale behind the name is that it is a State-owned University run and operated by the
Enugu State Government and its people.
The ‘Science and Technology’ in the name
confirms the emphasis that the University places on these areas in its academic programmes.
22
2.2
LOGO
The logo of the Enugu State University of Science and Technology is shield-like and hinged
to a solid stable base which bears the motto of the University. The shield is divided by two
strong vertical lines into three: a central column and right and left panels. The central column
of the shield is the white ivory tower (citadel of learning); the two right and left panels are
brick-red in colour. A black man sits on the white ivory tower raising his hand at an angle,
such that his elbow is almost on the same level as his shoulder. His raised hands rest on
brick-red panels with the right hand holding a sturdy, powerful harmer while his left hand
holds a flaming torch. The flame of the torch stops short of the top of the ivory tower. An
open book is placed close to the heart of the man and a rotary toothed wheel placed partly on
the opened book and balanced on the man’s heart.
The shield signifies rock like protection of the University from extraneous and un-academic
influences. The strong vertical line separating the columns signifies stability, power and
loftiness of the vision of the University and the white ivory tower signifies citadel of learning.
The black man represents humanity, signifying that the University is for the advancement of
humanity, while the hands raised at an angle indicate persistent hard work. The sturdy
harmer signifies strong technological thrust of the University; the open book close to the
heart signifies burning desire to learn, experiment, analyse and utilise knowledge; and the
23
rotary toothed wheel signifies application of technological invention in lifting the quality of
human life. The flame stopping short of the top of the white ivory tower signifies very high
level of academic excellence but because knowledge is infinite there remains a knowledge
gap between the flame and the top of the ivory tower.
The logo of the Enugu State University of Science and Technology represents the desire of
the founding fathers to establish an excellent academic institution on a solid foundation,
powerfully positioned to pioneer and sustain indigenous and cutting edge technology for
service to humanity. This shall be achieved through purity and originality of thought and
creativity and vibrant academic environment developed by persistent and painstaking
experimentation and analyses in a peaceful and vibrant academic environment located in the
serene city of Enugu with the hope that such serenity shall be reflected as enduring peace
within the University. The raised hands holding the hammer and torch within the brick-red
panels of the shield indicate the aspiration that the use of the local resources shall spark off an
industrial revolution which shall be a shield against poverty and backwardness in the state
and Nigeria as well.
2.3
MOTTO
The motto of the Enugu State University of Science and Technology is ‘Technology for
Service’. The motto emphasises the importance of knowledge for creation of technology
which is deployed through service for the growth and development of society. Technology
holds the key for the transformation of society and the Enugu State University of Science and
Technology aspires to be one of the foremost sources of technology for the transformation of
the State and Nigeria in general. Service provides the means by which every member of the
24
society makes contributions to its growth and development as well as actualises his potentials
and earns a living. The better technologically equipped the members of a society, the better
service they offer; thus Enugu State University of Science and Technology provides the link
between technology and service by equipping its graduates with knowledge and also
developing appropriate and sophisticated technologies for the advancement of mankind.
2.4
UNIVERSITY COLOURS
The colours of the Enugu State University of Science and Technology are Black, Brick-Red
and White. The black colour signifies strength which comes from knowledge, technology and
service rendered by the University. The brick-red colour signifies the dominant lateritic soil
of Enugu State which typifies the State as an entity embracing its agriculture, natural
resources indigenous technology, etc., The white colour of the ivory tower signifies peace,
purity (originality) of thought and creativity.

4.5.1 SEMESTER SYSTEM AND COURSE CREDIT SYSTEM
The Enugu State University of Science and Technology runs a semester system for its
academic programmes. Each academic session comprises two semesters and each semester
normally has duration of 18-22 weeks. Each semester consists of 2 weeks of registration, 15
weeks of teaching and 1-2 weeks for examination. An additional 1 week of late registration
is normally given with a penalty. All the core courses for that semester, which the student
has not passed, would be listed as outstanding.
If the student fails to register for the
immediate next semester, that student is deemed to have voluntarily withdrawn from the
programmes and from the University. A student who fails to register in any one session is
deemed to have voluntarily withdrawn from the University.
The Enugu State University of Science and Technology operates the course credit system. A
credit unit is a weighting assigned to each course to determine the content coverage, the
number of hours per week, number of examination questions to be set and to be answered and
the time allowed. A credit unit is defined as one hour of lecture or two or three hours of
tutorial/laboratory/workshop or field work per week per semester.
The Enugu State University of Science and Technology operates a course numbering system
that uses a prefixed three-letter code identifying the department offering the course followed
by a three-digit number identifying the course. The first digit denotes the level or year of
study. The second digit denotes the subject area specialist or stress area. The third digit
144
denotes the orders in which the courses are given, provided: odd numbers represent first
semester courses, even numbers represent second semester courses, and zero represents
courses running throughout both first and second semesters. Second and third digits of 99 are
used to represent research projects, industrial training and SIWES as follows:

All courses are examined at the end of the semester in which they are offered. The courses
offered in the University are classified into: Core courses (C), these are compulsory courses,
which must be registered for and passed by a student before he can be awarded a degree of
the University. A student who fails a core course carries it over and repeats it at the next
available opportunity or subsequently until it is passed; Elective courses (E), these are
courses which can be registered only on the advice of the academic adviser as required
courses, and which must be passed by a student so advised in order to graduate; Optional
Courses (O), these are courses which may be taken by a student to make-up the minimum
credits required in a semester; General Studies (GST) courses, the courses acquaint the
students with the foundation of a general education in the sciences, social sciences and
humanities, as well as inculcate in the undergraduate students the essence of nationalism and
morality. All GST courses are core courses. At the end of each course, a candidate is
145
credited with the number of credit units assigned for the course offered and passed.
Examinations take the form of written papers, oral examinations, practicals, submission of
projects, assessment of course work, or a combination of these. All registered courses
whether core, elective or optional must be passed for a student to graduate. Continuous
assessment, which may be in the form of term papers, tests, assignments, practicals, etc.,
contributes 30% of the total score for a course, while final examination for a course
contributes 70% for courses without practicals; and 20% for continuous assessment, 20% for
practicals and 60% for final examination for courses with practicals. The Enugu State
University of Science and Technology utilises external examiners to review the final year
undergraduate examination as well as projects to verify the quality of programmes and of the
graduating students. External examiners are appointed each session for a maximum period of
three sessions consecutively and may be re-appointed after an interval of three years.
However, external examiners required for examinations at various levels for the degree
programmes in the different professions shall also be utilised by the proposed University.
Conversely, all postgraduate courses shall be moderated by external examiners. The grading
system for all courses of the Enugu State University of Science and Technology is as follows:

CHAPTER FIVE
RESEARCH POLICY
5.0
PREAMBLE
Research is paramount to the success attributed to a University, and the quality and nature of
research carried out becomes significant in ranking as it affects its immediate community and
the world at large. Many Nigerian Universities are presently challenged by the low level of
funding and attention given to research. Therefore, various non-developmental issues have
arisen as a result of the low level of intervention in research over the years, such as
degenerated or lack of necessary equipment, poor communication network, lack of job
satisfaction, piracy and/or plagiarism which diminishes publication efforts, etc. The Enugu
State University of Science and Technology had made and is making significant effort to
address the problems associated with research in Nigerian Universities as well as give
research the attention it deserves.
5.1
RESEARCH PHILOSOPHY
The Enugu State University of Science and Technology, in its efforts to institutionalise a high
research driven standard, encourages its entire academic staff to participate in collaborative
research in their areas of competence. The University has placed its priority on solution based
research activities, which is aimed at meeting the needs of its immediate environment and
national concerns.
155
The philosophy of research at the Enugu State University of Science and Technology is
excellence driven by the quest for knowledge for technological development and for service.
The ethos is to satisfy the needs of the individual researcher for recognition and for selfdevelopment as well as satisfy the needs of society for social and economic transformation.
This way, the University explores the competences of its staff and gives them opportunity to
apply their expertise on the field as well as address the needs of various stakeholders. The
goal is to ensure that the excellence of the University is reflected not only in its teaching
programmes, but that the University is also famous for its research programmes nationally
and internationally.
5.2
RESEARCH OBJECTIVES
The research objectives of the Enugu State University of Science and Technology aim to
express its research philosophy, which is aimed at meeting the needs of the University as well
as other stakeholders. The research objectives of the Enugu State University of Science and
Technology are to:
i.
ensure the conduct of excellent, high-tech and cutting-edge research by providing
excellent research facilities and national and international media for research
publication;
ii.
encourage all academic staff to engage in result-oriented research activities in their
areas of specialisation especially those in line with the University’s priorities and
which are relevant to national need with the aim to establish a vibrant research culture
that shall exert a positive impact on the quality of teaching;
156
iii.
ensure that in training the students, the University emphasises proper orientation in

and areas of interest; and to share same within and outside the University community;
v.
ensure effective communication between the University and the general public so as
to incorporate the needs of society and those of industries into the research agenda of
the University;
vi.
support research as the foundation for the growth and development of the academic
programmes of the University; and
vii.
initiate and promote research linkages with institutions and agencies including
industry, community, public service and professional organisations within and outside
Nigeria.
To further give focus to research in the University, the following major components are the
thrust of research in the University.
5.2.1 GENERAL UNIVERSITY RESEARCH
The Enugu State University of Science and Technology pursues basic research to enable
individual staff and students fulfill their academic potentials. This way, the University
utilises research to foster a spirit of enquiry leading to the development of an open and
critical mind towards advancing the frontiers of knowledge. Basic research is encouraged to
support teaching and learning.
157
The University also actively promotes applied research so as to make itself relevant to the
immediate environment (community) and the country in general. This therefore enhances its
reputation amongst the comity of Universities through the quantity, quality and highly
applicable research that it conducts. The University embarks on original problem-solving
research on a regular and consistent basis. In this regard, the University aims at engaging in a
dynamic, well-coordinated and sustainable research that shall have positive impact on the
development of Enugu State and the country with a view to improving the quality of life of
the citizens. This shall be achieved by encouraging research into the problems of society so
as to find practical solutions to them.
5.2.2 COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH
Collaborative research encourages both formal and informal arrangements and linkages
involving other national and international research institutions/Universities. Such researches
are essentially undertaken by groups of individuals or consortia rather than by individuals and
shall have joint supervision provided by the Enugu State University of Science and
Technology and the collaborating institution.
Such arrangements also allow staff and
students to benefit from doing research in collaboration with other partners in business,
commodity research institutes and other government departments. This is reflected in the
many specialised centres that have been established by the University.
158
5.3
RESEARCH FUNDING
The Enugu State University of Science and Technology recognises the fact that meaningful
research for development is capital intensive and is therefore committed to ensuring adequate
funding for its research and development endeavours. To this end, the University commits
5% of its annual recurrent expenditure to research, in addition to funds generated through
research marketing and collaborations. Research funding is by this means guaranteed, and
staff of the University are encouraged to carry out various research work as a result of the
availability of necessary equipment and facilities.
As a means of supplementing and broadening the sources of its research funding, the
University solicits for funds from and collaborate with international funding agencies,
industrial concerns, public and private organisations, philanthropists, etc. To achieve this, the
University enters into linkages and partnerships with governmental and non-governmental
organisations and sister institutions locally and internationally to generate additional funds
for research activities.
Portions of the Internally Generated Revenue (IGR) from the University’s projects and
consultancy services, are also to be deployed to fund its research activities. Concerted efforts
are made to train and encourage staff of the University to write and submit competitive grantwinning proposal to various funding agencies across the globe to ensure that individual and
collaborative research activities in the University are robust and fruitful with resultant high
quality publications.
159
The responsibility for mobilising, allocating and disbursing research grants in the University
is the responsibility of the Research, Planning and Grants Committee of the Senate. The
committee is assisted by the efforts of individuals, departments and faculties as well as the
University Management.
5.4
RESEARCH FUNDS ADMINISTRATION
The Enugu State University of Science and Technology has a robust and well-coordinated
research administration mechanism which regulates research funding and its utilisation. The
Research, Planning and Grants Committee headed by a nominee of the Vice-Chancellor,
ensures that research grants applications to external grant-giving agencies are properly
scrutinised. More importantly, research proposals with focus on the University’s core areas of
expertise, staff professional line, community driven needs, and national benefits are given
preference in its selection processes.
There are also research committees at the faculty and departmental levels with the major
function of ensuring that only high quality research proposals are recommended for
consideration by the Research, Planning and Grants Committee and those researchers, do
indeed, meet the objectives of their approved research projects.
5.5
ORGANISED RESEARCH UNITS
The Enugu State University of Science and Technology has established some organised
research units to conduct research in different areas of specialisation. External collaborations
and support has over time been solicited with Government and international agencies
partnering with the University for the establishment of research centres.
160

UNIVERSITY LIBRARY
The library is a critical resource in learning necessary for research and development. The
challenges faced by Nigerian tertiary institutions in developing world class libraries due to
insufficient funding, has significantly affected the quality of education and by extension the
quality of graduates. The Library at the Enugu State University of Science and Technology is
a combination of physical and electronic resources. There is a library each at the two
campuses of the University as well as the Law Library. The University Library supports
learning at all levels for staff and students and ensures access to current and up-to-date
educational content. Access to the virtual library is restricted to staff and students of the
University but visitors can use the links below to view open source electronic content. As the
custodian of knowledge, the library serves as a repository for Enugu state government
publications and laws.
The Academia Library System at the Enugu State University of Science and Technology is a
fully indigenous solution built to the exact requirements of higher learning in Nigeria. It
combines the management of physical books and educational reading materials within the
library with access to over 50,000 electronic books on all subjects. The system manages
access to the electronic content and ensures that physical books borrowed from the University
are tracked and returned as at when due for use by other students. Upon creating a profile,
the library interface will be visible on the left-hand navigation of the profile page. Access is
automatically given upon registration of new and continuing students on the Academia
Higher Institution Management System. Staff access is also generated from the information
in the Personnel section of Academia.
The University Library is coordinated by the
University Librarian.

calculated based on approved courses stipulated by the National Universities Commission in
the Minimum Academic Standard (MAS) documents taken within and outside the department
housing the programme. The FTE undergraduate students’ projections of the Enugu State
University of Science and Technology are as shown in Table 1 of the Appendix. The FTE
students’ populations of all postgraduate programmes are calculated on an equal basis with
the headcount enrolment figures as shown in Tables 1 and 2 of the Appendix.
The FTE for a programme in a year is derived using the following formula:

STAFF DEVELOPMENT POLICY
The Enugu State University of Science and Technology provides regular support for
academic and non-academic staff to acquire local and overseas fellowships and to attend
conferences and workshops so as to update their knowledge and to advance teaching, learning
and research. The University yearly applies at least 1% of its total recurrent grants to staff
development and training. The staff development policy of the University also include:
194
sponsorship of academic and non-academic staff to acquire higher degrees and qualifications;
encouraging and giving grants for research; and exploring opportunities for academic staff
exchange programme with other institutions both locally and internationally.
In view of the dearth of academic staff in Nigerian Universities and the challenges that
Universities face in sourcing academic staff, the Enugu State University of Science and
Technology pays special attention to the attraction and retention of qualified academic staff.
In this wise, the University has designed and implements various programmes for academic
staff training and development with emphasis on for academic staff.

for about 30% of its students. In this respect, the University has built some hostels. Other
students of the University find their accommodation within Enugu.
The Enugu State University of Science and Technology shall accommodate about 50% of its
staff on campus. Priority is given to the principal officers and staff with essential duties. The
University hopes to build more staff accommodation as well as encourage staff to build and
own their houses within the environs of Enugu.
The Enugu State University of Science and Technology does not directly provide catering
services to staff and students, but engages the services of professional caterers to do so. The
goal is to ensure that the catering services provided on campus are efficient and qualitative as
well as at reasonable cost. The Enugu State University of Science and Technology makes
195
available to the caterers the space and physical structures required to ensure that its controls
the quality and cost of catering service provided to staff and students. A Catering Services
Unit established by the Enugu State University of Science and Technology ensures the
effective management of catering services provided.

CAMPUS POPULATION
The Enugu State University of Science and Technology estimates that its campus population
shall not exceed 51,800 for all groups and 11,800 for accommodated groups at ultimate
development. The campus population is projected for all groups by summing up the number
at ultimate development of full-time students, part-time students, all staff, staff dependents
for accommodated staff (at an average rate of 5 persons per staff consisting of a wife and four
children and dependents), and 2% of the sum of these groups as guests; while for
accommodated groups the campus population is estimated by adding the total number of
accommodated full-time students, accommodated staff, staff dependents for accommodated
staff, and 2% of the sum of these groups as guests.

COST
9.2.1 RECURRENT COST
From the projected estimates, the recurrent cost shall increase from about N7.97 billion in
Year 1 to about N16.70 billion by the end of Year 10. The recurrent cost shall ultimately
reach about N17.72 billion. The cost items are composed of staff salaries and allowances at
60% of total recurrent cost; and goods and services at 40% of total recurrent cost. The
Consolidated University Academic Salary Structure (CONUASS) and the Consolidated
Tertiary Institutions Salary Structure (CONTISS) are used in estimating the personnel costs
of academic staff and non-academic staff respectively. This is to ensure that the Enugu State
University of Science and Technology is able to attract staff from all Nigerian Universities.
The academic staff cost is determined based on the following assumptions: Professors and
Associate Professors at 100% of their cadre on CONUASS 07 Step 10 (N6,020,163.00);
Senior Lecturers at 100% of their cadre on CONUASS 05 Step 13 (N4,114,506.00); and
Lecturers I and below at 100% of their cadre on CONUASS 03 Step 8 (N1,979,641.00). The
non-academic staff cost is determined based on the following assumptions: Senior Technical
Staff at 100% of their cadre on CONTISS 12 Step 11 (N2,827,525.00); Senior Administrative
Staff at 100% of their cadre on CONTISS 12 Step 11 (N2,827,525.00); and Junior Staff
(Technical and No-Technical) at 100% of their cadre on CONTISS 03 Step 15 (N434759.00).
Details of the recurrent cost are presented in Tables 9.5, 9.6 and 9.7 below.
