The Council of the University at its meeting of 29th August, 2002, approved that a Centre for
Continuing Education (CCE) be established in the University. The establishment of the Centre
was informed by the imperative need to enhance the fulfillment of some aspects of the
Missions/Objectives of the University as stipulated in the Institution’s enabling Act.
Those aspects of the University Missions are:

The Centre was established primarily to enhance the accomplishment of the academic goals of the University as well as support its income generation efforts. It has the following broad objectives.
