“We intend to commence master’s and doctorate programmes in Petroleum Engineering. We are in the process of recruiting more staff, especially at the higher level, so that we can have someone who can provide academic leadership in the department.
We are currently in the process. The position has been advertised and right now we are in the review process and hopefully, before the end of this year, we should be through with that,” he said.
