HOD'S WELCOME NOTE
You are warmly welcome to the Department of Languages & General Studies. The Department is dedicated to teaching, learning and research. We drive excellence and prepare our students for greater challenges beyond the classroom. Indisputably, language is the hub of any human society, which sustains the wheels of communication and national cohesion; it is indispensable to social interaction and central to service delivery in all sectors of the economy, information and communication technology inclusive. It is therefore clear that national development and language are really inseparable.
