Physically, the Nunya library is made up of two structure: old and new. The old structure had been the main library until recently when the new structure, which is the story building attached to the old building became operational. However, it is made up of departments, sections/units.

With much pleasure, I welcome you to the Nunya Library. As a reminder, the library plays a very vital role in supporting faculty and students’ research and the intellectual pursuits of our alumni and the University community as a whole. The library serves as a gateway to our rich information resources, facilities and services. It provides scholarly information resources, learning space and facilities as well as information services to support the mission of the university.

The vision of the Nunya library is aligned to the corporate strategic direction of the University. The library is therefore harnessing resources, facilities and services that are geared towards the achievement of academic excellence and research goals of the University. The library’s website also provides another source of electronic information such as E-journals, online databases, E-books, institutional repository, research tools / guides etc. to faculty, students and staff.

The library also partners with other international and local libraries to deliver your information needs through interlibrary loans and other book protocols. We aim to provide you with the best possible services and I look forward to your visit. Please, feel free to contact me with your concerns, suggestions and ideas which will help in improving our services. 

Thank you.
