These constraints are not in tune with thevision and mission of the University, namely “to provide acongenial learning environment” that facilitates “excellencein teaching and learning, research, community service”.The budget allocated to each department of the Facultyduring the financial year 2011/2012 was far below theneeds of the departments. As a result, it was not possible topurchase vital laboratory equipment and consumables orto repair faulty equipment, in some cases, yet lectures andpractical sessions need to complement each other. Some ofthe equipment is non-functional and obsolete and hencenot worth considering for repairs.In addition to teaching, members of staff are expected todo research and attend conferences in order to be abreastof the latest developments in science and technology. Thebudget allocation was also not enough for external travel toattend conferences and present research papers.REPORT OF THE VICE-CHANCELLOR 50
