The clause states:” the ideal candidate for the Vice-Chancellorship position must demonstrate a proven track record of securing substantial research funding including attracting no less than 400 Million naira and a history of successfully obtaining research grants and other resources to enhance the University’s capabilities, recorded prior to this advert”.
