The Directorate of Income Generating Units (IGU)
I take this opportunity to warmly welcome you to the Directorate of Income Generating Units (IGU). My name is Prof. Julius Kipkemboi.
The Directorate of IGU is domiciled with the Division of Administration, Finance and Planning (AFP) and was created to provide revenue to supplement government funding hence enhancing University ability to sustain itself beyond the traditional funding sources. The role of the Directorate is to provide strategic guidance to University departments that generate income through products, services and innovations. The IGUs include Tatton Farm, Guilford Dairy Institute, Gift shop, Bookshop, University Press, Knitting & Tailoring, Catering Department, Halls of Accommodation, Medical Department, Funeral Home among other departments that generate income.
The Directorate continues to regularly update business plans for each IGU in order to keep pace with the ever-changing business environment. The University has also established a minimarket at the main University gate as an outlet for IGU products. This minimarket not only provides innovative products and services to the public but also act as a one stop shop for all IGUs to sell Egerton University branded products, services and including provision of information about the University programmes. We welcome you to sample “ Products of Egerton University”.
