The Mission
Consistent with its founding tenets, as enunciated in the 1961 Ashby Report, the Mission of the Institute is two pronged:

To provide opportunities for higher education for those already in some gainful employment to widen and diversify access to a flexible, innovative and cost-effective system of education to the ever increasing number of learners who, either did not have the opportunity of University education or for some other reasons cannot engage in full-time studies.


The Vision
To be a centre of excellence in the provision of educational services through the Distance Learning mode.
