best tertiary education possible in all branches of knowledge. It
scours the entire world in its recruitment exercises, for it would
employ the most accomplished scholars for its academic departments and
appoint committed professionals to run its administration. Its
state-of-the-art facilities—physical and otherwise—are the envy of
other institutions. And its graduates are among the most sought-after
by employers looking for knowledgeable and skilful professionals who,
in addition, are committed to moral and ethical values. . |
