Registrar at Kwara State University (KWASU), Malete

Kwara State University (KWASU) is a public state research university located in Malete, Kwara State, Nigeria. It is the 77th university to be accredited by the NUC, and the 95th university to be recognized in Nigeria. The university has about 60 academic departments spread across 11 faculties.

The university was established by the administration of Dr. Bukola Saraki in 2009, and envisioned to be more than a typical university in Nigeria. It was designed to be a centre for community service and entrepreneurship. In a country where the fundamental values of volunteerism and community involvement are yet to be fully embraced, the university recognises itself as a part of a community and has the position of a Director for Community Development to mobilize the community, set assessment strategies, and identifying the needs within the community so that lecturers can use their expertise to impact directly on the communities.
