The Vision of the University is to be a pace-setting institution in terms of Learning, Character building and Service to humanity. Its Mission is to produce competent and resourceful graduates with high moral standard; and the Philosophy is the total development of men and women in an enabling environment through appropriate Teaching, Research and Service to humanity, influenced by Islamic Ethics and Culture.

The programmes of the University are grouped into Six Colleges, namely:

The first two Colleges have been running for almost past five years and Arts will commence soon.

Having almost completed the first 5 years with lots of success stories including the graduation of the first set and the scoring of 100 percent Accreditation for all its programmes in the First Accreditation Exercise under a Vice-Chancellor whose tenure will end soon, the position will therefore become vacant by December 12, 2012.
