Director, School of Part-Time Studies
Crawford University was established in September, 2005. The approval of the establishment of Crawford University School of Part-Time Studies (SPTS) by the Senate and the Council is an important milestone by the University to bring tertiary education to millions of Nigerians who are full-time workers, enabling them to step up in their various professions. The establishment of SPTS is an added advantage to Crawford University in positively impacting its immediate environment and community by the unique opportunity afforded in quality education, training, employment, and extending its corporate social responsibility more poignantly.
