Energy is crucial as a catalyst for the economic development of a Nation. The primary purpose of the Department of Energy Science and Technology (DEST) is to provide a learning environment in which staff and students can learn, research, innovate and transmit the knowledge through technologies that will help improve energy use, development, production, conversion and management of nonrenewable fuels and renewable energy for a transformational and sustainable development. The Department spearheads capacity building through trainings at PhD, Masters, Bachelors, Diploma, Certificate, Skilling, workshops, short courses, R&D and innovations to foster energy efficiency and transitions, fossil fuels management, energy development and sustainability.

With exponential population growth rates, increased carbon emissions, oil demand peaks and growing energy demands, there is need for work force diversity, technological change and knowledgeable expertise to mitigating the energy challenge of increased population and energy demand and securing a comfortable and healthy livelihood as duly acknowledged in the National Development Plan III programs on sustainable energy and petroleum development, and UN’s 7th Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) on affordable and clean energy.
