FUNAI Advancement Centre
The FUNAI Advancement Centre is committed to the actualization of FUNAI’s vision and mission as it serves as a catalyst in the promotion of partnership, innovation, scholarship and internationalization within FUNAI.
The FUNAI Advancement Centre (FAC) is an arm in the Vice-Chancellor’s Office that serves as the coordinator and facilitator of partnerships and collaborations between FUNAI and various organizations, industries and agencies within and outside Nigeria. FAC is responsible for creating awareness, building relationships, partnership, collaboration and generating support for FUNAI’s teaching, research and public service missions. This is to be accomplished through a strategic effort that incorporates strategic communications, marketing, alumni relations (in due course), community and government relations, as well as resource planning and administration.
The Centre for Advancement and Linkages is charged with the responsibilities of reaching out to friends of FUNAI as well as stake-holders, investors and philanthropists to partner with the University towards her vision of being a leading world-class University.
FUNAI Advancement Centre is developing a platform for the “Online Student Progress Mechanism” for our staff undergoing some courses/training abroad. This is aimed at creating a framework for greater communication between FUNAI, the Graduate School, Supervisor(s) and Students progress in meeting the goals set each year and clarification of goals for the following year.
