Directorate of Works & Services

Welcome Message from Director

The Directorate of Works & Services was born out of the growth of NOUN which has been in geometric progression, and the increasing need to keep up pace with maintenance of physical infrastructure and equipment. The split of Directorate of Physical Development, Works & Services (DPDW&S) into Directorate of Physical Planning & Development (DPD) and Directorate of Works & Services (D,W&S) was recommended by the Presidential Visitation Panel to the University in 2021.

The Directorate is headed by Arc. Enyinnaya Akueshi as pioneer Director in acting capacity. Directorate of Works & Services was established on the 24th of September, 2024 with the mandate to oversee the maintenance, renovation and servicing of the university’s physical infrastructure.

The directorate is committed to providing a safe, efficient, and conducive learning environment to support the university’s academic excellence and research endeavors. Its vision is to become a model for best practices in facilities management, while its mission is to deliver exceptional and prompt services that meet the evolving needs of the university community in an open and distant learning environment.
