The Vice-Chancellor of the University, Professor Elias Sowley, said the school is saddled with financial challenges, hence the need to devise ways of raising funds for its holistic operation.

He stressed that government alone cannot meet the financial needs of all institutions in the country.

Therefore, there is the need to be realistic and take advantage of opportunities around.

Professor Sowley disclosed that management is working hard to make the university relevant to the local economy by devising innovative ways of facilitating small scale industries’ development such as agriculture and smock weaving.

He identified teamwork as a key ingredient in helping to realize the vision set for the university to produce the required skilled human resource fit for the regional and national industrialization drive.

A Quality Assurance Specialist, Dr Violet Makuku, who facilitated the workshop, said the institution needs to be transformed to meet the status of a technical university. She urged the university to collaborate with its alumni body in fundraising and grant proposal writing to bring the institution out of its financial doldrums.

Dr. Makuku therefore advised management to ensure transparency and accountability in the application of funds to build the trust of its collaborators and partners.
