At the inception of the University in 2011, the Management instituted the Conference and Research Committee; headed by Professor E.M.A. Olatunji of the Department of Physical Sciences. The Committee was saddled with the three (3) fold responsibilities – Research, Conference, and Publication. This went on till the first quarter of 2016.  However, in April 2016, the three three segments of the Conference and Research Committee reemerged as different Committees viz: The Publication Committee, the Research Committee, and the Conference Committee.
