Michael and Cecilia Ibru University is one institution that has strategically positioned herself for high quality performance of both staff and students, going by the caliber of human and infrastructural resources, second to none, that are currently on ground.
MCIU recognizes the fact that knowledge is dynamic, and to brace up with this spirit of dynamism, she has given research its pride of place in every aspect of her endeavours.
With a well-planned out and carefully packaged framework of an international University, research, which is one of the tripartite functions of a university, in addition to teaching and community service, has been made one of the main bedrocks of the university’s Master Plan. This is in recognition of the belief of MCIU that:
“…… in the modern world in which knowledge grows at an exponential rate, the relevance of a University is often judged in part by the quantum, quality and applicability of its research output ……..”
(Academic Brief, 2015)
Furthermore, MCIU has her own Research Philosophy:
“To carry out co-ordinated, purpose-driven, proactive and problem-solving research on a sustained basis that will generate new knowledge as well as solve societal problems.”
To this end, MCIU has put the necessary machinery in place to facilitate the publication of the research results of staff and students in the best possible media and is also poised to undertake academic publishing as an important function.
With this in mind, she hopes:
“to promote research that will have carry-over values into teaching and have relevance to the aspirations and developmental needs of the society.”(Academic Brief, 2015)
