ADMINISTRATIVE UNITS
VICE CHANCELLOR’S OFFICE
6.1.1 STUDENT AFFAIRS DIVISION
The Student Affairs Division was created in November, 2005 to cater for the
general welfare of the students and administer the non-academic matters of
students. The Division also caters for career guidance, provide recreational
and sporting facilities and supervise these activities.

Achievements
Within the period under review, the Student Affairs Division has achieved a
lot in laying foundation on which students social and academic well-being
are established and protected. All staff in the division worked indefatigably
to ensure that law and order are maintained for peaceful academic pursuit.
Student Handbook
The Third Edition (2012/2017) of the Kaduna State University Student
Handbook has been thoroughly updated and is being produced by the
Division for distribution to students this academic session. The revision was
undertaken with ample assistance from the Office of the Vice Chancellor
and academic inputs from the University Senate. The Handbook provides the
guidelines for peaceful coexistence and fruitful academic pursuit in the
46
university. It also provides general rules for the conduct of the students both
in and outside the examination halls.
Sports
In the area of sports, the Division ensures full participation of all students in
all sporting activities they are interested in, such as are available in the
university. The sports unit received a boost this academic session when a
sports officer was employed to coach students on a full time. Hitherto it had
been the voluntary commitment of the Deputy Vice Chancellor
(Administration), Dr. Simon Daniel that took care of this aspect. As at now
the students are ready for the 2013 NUGA Zonal Preliminaries coming up in
Wudil in April 2013.
Vehicles
Two sixteen-buses and one Sienna space wagon have been purchased by the
University for the use of Student Affairs Division. This is indeed a big
achievement considering that for the past seven years the Division had been
operating without a single official vehicle. The acquisition of these vehicles
would greatly impact on the students’ confidence especially when they
embark on field trips or sporting competitions.
Hostels
Even though the Kaduna State University operates a non-residential hostel
policy, private developers were invited to build and maintain hostels for
students and charge them accordingly. The Student Affairs Division ensures
that reasonable charges are made and security of the students’ residents in
these hostels guaranteed. The Division also assists students in ensuring that
none of their residency rights is infringed upon by the developers. Three
hostels have so far been built and are fully occupied by female students.
These three are within the Kaduna Main Campus of the University. In
addition, there are some inherited structures from Ahmadu Bello University
Teaching Hospital that are used for accommodation for the male students
and are being run by a private company to ease the burden for the university.
The Medical Student Hostel along Tafawa Balewa Way Kaduna has also
been renovated to be used for the Exclusive Accommodation of students
from Faculty of Medicine.
47
Clubs and Societies
Registration of clubs and societies has been suspended pending the lifting of
the ban on students union activities. The ban was necessitated to maintain
peace and order in the university. Student union activities will resume as
soon as the situations threatening the breach of the peace are arrested.
Alumni Office
The university is about to convoke all sets of its graduated students. This
calls for the establishment of an alumni office which would handle all
alumni matters. The Division is saddled with this responsibility. Under the
supervision of the deanery, alumni officers were elected and have already
began work.
Prospects
We intend to strengthen our areas of success and quickly address such areas
in which we were unable, due to some problems, to function maximally and
make the 2012/2013 academic session a remarkable one for both students
and the university authority.
6.1.2 SECURITY UNIT
The Security Unit is headed by Col. U. M. Bobai (rtd) psc, FSS, MSS, DSS,
and assisted by Sqn. Ldr. G. A. Dikko (rtd), pjsc, FSS, while Dahiru Ibrahim
and Bawa Irmiya Shetu are the administrative staff.
The security coverage of the two (2) campuses i.e. Kaduna and Kafanchan is
the responsibility of the one hundred and four (104) permanent security
operatives employed by the university. However, the three (3) privately
owned hostels i.e. ASD, Adama and Hamdala occupied by female students
have their security guards.
Achievements
i.
Conversion of the security operatives hitherto recruited as casual
workers to permanent staff.
ii.
Recruitment of thirty three (33) additional security staff.

Challenges
The general insecurity in the country, posed by threats emanating from Boko
Haram and terrorists activities calls for vigilance and close monitoring of our
tertiary institutions. There is therefore the need for security alertness and
awareness. This can only be realized, if there is security consciousness by all
and sundry. In spite of the numerous security challenges, however, Kaduna
State University was peaceful during the year under review.

The Unit is working hard on a proposal for the introduction of NHIS
scheme in the university; it is hoped that very soon KASU will
register with the National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS) in order
to achieve the set objective of the scheme.
ii.
The Unit is preparing a proposal for the conversion of the clinic to a
Comprehensive Medical Centre so that the university community
would benefit from its improved services and also get accredited for
the NHIS.
iii.
The Unit has a vision of attaining a healthy environment; free from all
sources of nuisance and infectious agents; one that would meet a high
standard. This can be attained through having an organized and
centralized Environmental Health Unit that will serve as a practical
training ground for health students within the university and the state
as a whole.
6.1.4 LINKAGES UNIT
The linkages office was established in 2008 with the responsibility of linking
the University with other academic institutions and recognized bodies to
promote teaching, learning and research. The office has been waxing
stronger in its efforts at making significant improvement in getting
collaborations and partnership in the area of research and obtaining
scholarships for staff of the University. The year under review has
experienced tremendous success in pursuing the goals of the University.
Achievements

now very high. Staff have been able to travel to various countries like
UK, USA, South Africa, Malaysia, Dubai, Turkey, India, Germany,
Canada and Ghana to mention a few.
iii.

of International Conferences with documentation for visa applications
in various Embassies in Nigeria.
53
Challenges of the Office

by a Registrar who is a seasoned Administrator and the Secretary to the
Governing Council, Senate, Congregation and Convocation.
The Registrar, as the Chief Administrative Officer of the University, is
responsible to the Vice Chancellor for the day-to-day administration of the
University. The Registrar coordinates the activities of the Divisions in the
Registry. He is also the custodian of all the Records in the University. As of
today, the Registry has a total Staff strength of 215 made up of 49 Senior
Staff and 166 Junior Staff, centrally deployed to various Units in the
Registry, Faculties, Departments and other Units of the University. The

Achievements
The transformation and restructuring of the departments by the
establishment of new Units (Academic Affairs and Students Affairs Units)
have positioned the Registry to successfully face the challenges in the year
under review. These Units were assigned competent staff with clear cut
responsibilities to achieve the desired goals of the department as well as the
University. The staff strength of the department has improved considerably
in the last one year due to increasing administrative demands occasioned by
the establishment of new faculties and units. The presence of Registry Staff
in some departments and Units has made the smooth administration of the
University possible which is evident by the success in attaining full
accreditation status of nine academic programmes presented to NUC for
accreditation in April, 2012.
59
The University has sponsored Registry Staff on international and local
conferences in the last one year to improve the capacity and performance of
Staff in the discharge of their duties. Members of staff are constantly
encouraged to pursue higher degrees to meet with the challenges of
University administration in the 21st Century.
Challenges and Plans
The challenges ahead would be in the area of computerization of all aspects
of personnel records and the ability to retrieve information very quickly.
The assessment of Staff performances, Welfare, Promotions, Recruitments
and Retention of quality staff would continue to pose some challenges in the
year ahead.
The department planned that it would continue to train and retrain staff
through conferences, workshops, seminars and higher degrees to improve
their performances for provision of better and quality service to the
University.
6.3
BURSARY DEPARTMENT

Performance
Internally Generated Revenue
Overhead Cost
Personnel
Capital
Actual Project Performance
78%
94%
82%
54%
85%
Problems and Challenges
One of the major problems of the Department is the continuous routing of
approval for payments through the Ministries, a lot of time is wasted in
following up the approvals and releases for cash backing. This is more
disturbing because functionaries in the State Ministries are not quite familiar
with the intricacies that underline the administration of Universities, posing
62
a big challenge to carry them along and gradually inform and enlighten them
to understand and appreciate what it means to administer a University.
Prospects, Plan and Strategies
Adequate provision for physical development, recruitment of additional
staff, training and workshops for staff, procurement of working materials
such as Safes, Fire Proof Cabinets, Computers and Motor Vehicles in 2013.
Staff would be sponsored to attend workshops/seminars and encouraged to
register courses in computer studies to improve their efficiency.

Four of these staff are on their Ph.D. Programme in different Universities
within the Country, while the two Graduate Assistants are already outside the
country for their Masters Degree Programme.
Achievements
i.
Encouraging Students to Develop Interest in the Programme
Students admitted to read History are those who did not apply for the
course, hence 90% affected would wish to change from History to the
real courses they applied. Every session we find it difficult convincing
the affected students to accept the course. However, the staff of the
department made it a point of duty to relate to them the importance and
relevance of the course upon graduation. Most importantly, the staff
used both teaching/lecture methods to get the interest of the students
which gradually at the end of the session we could see their interest
developed towards the subject.
ii.
Access to Arewa House Kaduna
In an effort to encourage our students to read widely, the Department
made adequate arrangement with Arewa House Centre for Historical
Research and Documentation. This has greatly helped our students
obtained desirable books for their assignments and projects. Throughout
the session a good number of students patronized the Centre.
75
iii.
Publications/Conferences/Workshops/Seminars
A good number of staff of the department had published their works in
Faculty and Departmental Journals. Some attended the popular
Historical Society Conferences at the Zonal and National levels. For
example, the Congress held at Jalingo (Taraba State) and Lapai (Niger
State) in September and October respectively. During the session, the
Department published the Vol. 4 of its journal.
iv.
Departmental Library
The Department has a mini-Library over the years for staff and students
to enable them access materials not available or in short supply in the
University Library. In the year under review, graduating students of the
department as well as Student Historical Society of Nigeria (SHSN)
KASU Chapter provided set of books for the Library. The Department
has also procured photocopies of maps and relevant archival materials
for the use of students and staff.
v.
Post Graduate Programme
The Department has proposed a Post Graduate Programme (M.A.
History and Strategic Studies), which is scheduled to commence by
next academic session, subject to NUC approval.

Achievements
The department recorded numerous achievements during the 2011/2012
academic session which include the following:
99
i.
Accreditation
This was the greatest achievement of the department during the
2011/2012 session. The accreditation exercise was successful because
the department was able to scale through the rigorous accreditation
exercise. The accreditation team also commended the efforts of the
department and the school management for the well-equipped TV and
Radio studios in the department which they rated as one of the best in
the country.
Also, apart from the accreditation team, another team from NUC was
also on a visit to the department to see the kind of studio in place. This
group also commended the effort of the department and also the school
management for having such type of studios.
ii.
Advert and PR Laboratories
Another achievement of the department during the session in question
was in the area of the Advert and PR laboratories. The construction of
the advert and PR laboratories started during the last session (i.e.
2011/2012), and is now at the second phase of completion, hopefully
before the end of the first quarter of 2013.
iii.

Plans
i.
Monthly Interaction with Students
One of the plans of the department in the 2012/2013 session is to have
monthly interaction with all students at all levels. This will enable the
department to know the problems of students concerning their
academics and also the possible solutions to them. It will also help the
students to express themselves freely on matters that affect them which
will also improve their relationship with their lecturers and thereby
improve their performance.
ii.
Search for More High Caliber Lecturers
Since the major problem of the department remains staffing, the
department plans to search for more lecturers with high qualifications.
This is a rather global challenge in the discipline of Mass
Communication. However, the department shall request all the
academic staff to help the department search for more able hands.
iii.
Encourage Existing Staff to Acquire Higher Degrees
The department has encouraged its Graduate Assistants to apply for
their M.Sc. programmes in the various universities available within the
country. In respect of this, all the Graduate Assistants in the
department have applied for their programmes. One is now into the
programme, while the other two are awaiting their admission letters.
iv.
Conducting Excursion with Students
The student will be taken on excursions so as to have more insight into
the practical aspect for what they have been taught theoretically in the
class.
101
v.
Production of KASU Star and KASU Scope
The production of KASU Star and KASU Scope is done by 300 level
students of the department every session. The KASU Star (Newspaper)
and KASU Scope (Magazine) are produced in first and second
semesters respectively. Although, the circulation of the Newspaper and
Magazine are presently limited to the confines of the school, the
department plans to extend the circulation outside the campus.
vi.
Adding Aesthetics to the Department
Part of the demand of every employee/worker is a conducive and
comfortable environment to work in. Therefore, the department plans to
provide all the necessary facilities to beautify the department in order to
make the environment more conducive for both its workers and the
students. This will entail the provision of air conditioners, ceiling fans,
planting of flowers, placing of picture frames, etc.

FACULTY OF MEDICINE
For the Faculty of Medicine, the 2011/2012 academic year was the turning
point. It was the year that the Faculty took the leap from being a project to a
reality. It was the year of maturity and it can only look forward to proper
consolidation of its roots.
Students Enrolment
The Preclinical wing of the Faculty began the year attaining the full status of
having three sets of students i.e. 100L, 200L and 300L. There were 34
students on the admission list for the session, due to the inability of all
admitted students to meet the stringent registration requirements.
Lectures
The presence of the three sets of students threw up challenges in the following
forms:
i.
The need for more staffing across all departments became glaring.
ii.
The availability of few classrooms for the faculty meant that we had to
settle to use the laboratories in Physiology as lecture room and another
one in Pharmacology as Histology Practical Room for lack of suitable
venue in the Anatomy Department where this course belongs.
iii.
A few part-time lecturers were unable to keep pace with our schedule
due to certain problems.
The fallout is that:
i.
The Faculty needs more lecture/Seminar Rooms.
ii.
The remaining facilities in the Department of Anatomy need to be
provided.
iii.
More lecturers are required, preferably, tenure staff are required.
104
Examinations
This year saw us conducting the first ever 200 level examinations following
successful completion of lectures and practical work for that level of study.
The pioneer group was then able to cross over to their last semester in
preclinical training i.e. the 1st Semester of 300 level.
Unfortunately they will be stuck at this level until the Faculty is accredited to
enable them sit for their 2nd MB! It is our hope that they will not be left
stranded at this level for too long. The danger is that we shall begin to pile
students at this level, a very devastating experience which many medical
school went through and which some other school are still battling with.
Official Commissioning of the Faculty Structures
This academic year saw the official commissioning of the Faculty Buildings
on the Preclinical Wing that comprise of Anatomy and the Dean’s Complex.
The commissioning was carried out by no less a personality than the late
Governor of the State, Sir Patrick Ibrahim Yakowa who made it a duty to
shake the hands and talk to EACH ONE of the students lined up to welcome
him! His singular commitment to the cause of the Faculty remains fresh in our
memories and we pray for the repose of his gentle soul.
Staff Recruitment
Midway through the year, the staffing situation was remedied via the
appointment of more staff after an interview. The majority of the recruited
staff have reported and a few more visiting and sabbatical staff came on
board. The current staffing situation is as shown below by Departments.
New Departments
In anticipation of the next phase of our student training, three new
departments were created in the clinical wing. These departments are:
i.
Department of Pathology comprising of the following:
a)
Clinical Pathology
b)
Medical Microbiology
c)
Haematology
d)
Morbid anatomy
105
Skeletal staff for this composite department have been recruited.
Hopefully more will be appointed to enable the unit scale through the
impending accreditation by both the NUC and the Medical and Dental
Council of Nigeria.
ii.
Department of Medicine
iii.
Department of Surgery
Similarly, skeletal staff have been appointed in the above two
departments and a few more will be required.
Physical Development
Perhaps the most significant event of the year for the Faculty of Medicine is
the award of and the commencement of work on a significant number of
structures needed for the Teaching Hospital. This followed the acceptance by
Government for the conversion of Barau Dikko Specialist Hospital to a
Teaching Hospital for KASU. The following works are in progress:
i.
Complete Rehabilitation of Existing Unit in Barau Dikko Specialist
Hospital.
ii.
Construction of a 2 storey Faculty Complex comprising of teaching
laboratory, library and office facilities for clinical departments.
iii.
The conversion of the existing Physiotherapy Department and the
adjoining Canteen into a temporary Pathology Department Complex.
iv.
The construction of a temporary Clinical Library next to the OPD.
v.
The conversion of the abandoned Amenity ward in KASU to a Central
Animal House facility.
vi.
The complete renovation of the former ABU’s Barau Dikko Hostel
Annex in Kaduna for use by KASU Medical Student.
These projects when completed should satisfy the requirements of the
accrediting agencies to enable us to proceed for clinical training.
106
Challenges
Much as the year saw quite a good number of pluses there are several
challenges to overcome. Some of these are:
i.
The need for more physical development in all departments of the
preclinical wing, especially, the ANATOMY Department.
ii.
The need for more functional preclinical libraries.
a)
The conventional library requires to be well stocked with books
and journals.
b)
The e-library needs the rectification of inventor and solar
systems.
iii.
The need for a Faculty Bus and another one for the Community
Medicine Department.
iv.
The need for more staff at all levels; academic, technical and
administrative.
v.
The need for more number and quality of lecture and seminar rooms.
Appreciation
The Faculty is grateful to the Vice Chancellor and Management for the
progress made so far and urges that efforts be consolidated to enable the
Faculty start clinical training before the end of the Second half of 2013.
8.4.1 DEPARTMENT OF ANATOMY
The 2011/2012 Academic year was successful with improvement in academic
activities, staff strength, and student’s welfare.
Staff Strength/Welfare
There was a considerable improvement on staff strength as four additional
academic staff and three technical staff were employed during this period,
107
including a Reader. Consequently, the quality of the lecture topics and lecture
hours had improved significantly. The staff welfare had also shown significant
improvement.
Examinations
All examination in the form of continuous assessment, oral and viva, theory
and practical were conducted according to National Universities Commission
(NUC) guidelines. The first MBBS Promotion examination was conducted
during this academic year, and the students’ performance was rated above
average by the External Examiners. Two Examiners, one from Bayero
University Kano and the other from University of Jos examined the students.
One of the External Examiners’ Reports shows as follows:

It was delightful to note that the excellent performance of the students was
also reflected in one of the student who scored a distinction in Anatomy.
Supply of Material
The Department received monthly imprest to purchase stationeries, toiletries
and refreshments. Examination and other teaching materials were also
supplied. As a result, lectures and examinations were smoothly conducted
without any hindrance.
Students’ Welfare
The HOD Anatomy was appointed Student’s Welfare Officer by the Dean of
Faculty of Medicine. During the academic year, except for the death of one
medical student due to chronic ill –health, the students had remained healthy.
They had participated in sports such as football and volley ball. They had also
competed actively in 2011/2012 Vice Chancellor’s cup competition.
108
Prospects
The physical infrastructures and equipment in the Department have been
described as adequate by Examiners and others. Further, the implementation
of report on the Task Force on Anatomy would decidedly improve the
prospects of this Department. It stands to be among of the best Anatomy
Department in Nigeria.

Departmental Activities
The regular student lectures and other activities took place, as usual. However,
of note is the first 200 level students’ promotional examination, sat by a total
of 35 students; 31 of whom passed at first sitting, while 4 students wrote the
resit examination and all passed.
109
Manpower
The challenge of the department manpower was partly met during the year
under review for both academic and non-academic.
8.4.3 DEPARTMENT OF PHARMACOLOGY
The Department of Pharmacology began to take proper shape during the year
under review. At present, it has 7 academic staff and 3 technical staff. The
Department also witnessed the birth of the Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences
take off. This faculty has a major stake in the department.
Lectures and Practical Classes
In the 2011/2012 academic year, we successfully finished the basic
Pharmacology lectures for the pioneer students and started the lectures for the
second group. Practical classes also held for the pioneer groups, even though
there were challenges.
During the year the following were engaged as visiting lecturers:
Professor Isa M. Hussaini
Department of Pharmacology,
University of Maiduguri,
Borno State.
Dr. Bilkisu B. Maiha - Senior lecturer
Department of Pharmacology and Therapeutics,
Ahmadu Bello University,
Zaria.
There was also a part-time technical staff in the person of:
Mr. J. T. Ose
Department of Pharmacology and Therapeutics,
Ahmadu Bello University,
Zaria.
110
Examination
The 200L end of year examination was successfully conducted. The external
examiner, Prof. Joseph A. Anuka of ABU was quite satisfied with the
standard. It is our desire to improve.
Physical Development
The Animal House facility to be shared with other departments in the
university is nearing completion. This is an important achievement.
Staffing
The most important development in the department is the recruitment of
several tenure staff.
Appreciation
As the faculty inches towards accreditation by the National Universities
Commission (NUC) and the Medical and Dental Council of Nigeria (MDCN),
the department is appreciative of the effort of the Vice Chancellor and the
Management.
8.4.4 DEPARTMENT OF PHYSIOLOGY
The year 2011/2012 began with a beehive of activities as students went in and
out of the department each day.
The university deserves some commendation for the effort it has done so far,
especially in recruitment of staff. However, more academic and laboratory
staff will be required to meet up with the MDCN and NUC minimum
requirement. Furthermore, it is pertinent to establish the fact that it is usually
very difficult to recruit academic staff, especially the senior lecturers, in
physiology.
Teaching and Examination
Promotional examination was successfully conducted, with the involvement
of external examiners both for the main examination as well as the re-sit
examination. Preparation is underway for another promotion examination and
111
the first MB examination as well. With new developments in the department
and faculty in general, it is hoped that the remaining practical would be
conducted on schedule before the 300level class write their first MB
examination pretty soon.
Infrastructure
Burglar-proof doors have been fixed to the laboratory entrances and exits for
both laboratories. This is to enhance security for equipment in the
laboratories. Furthermore, the drainages in the two laboratories have finally
been covered.
Facilities
A brand new photocopying machine and a printer were acquired by the
department. This has alleviated the hardship, stress, insecurity and waste of
time it used to take for documents to be processed.
Activities
A Conference of the Physiological Society of Nigeria, which took place in
Calabar, was attended by the Ag. Head of Department. The journal was
brought for the department and faculty.
