Íæż½ã½ã Press (UONP) is a semi-autonomous publishing house owned by the Íæż½ã½ã. It serves the three paramount functions of a university, namely: teaching, research and dissemination of results of scholarly inquiry. Publishing is a primary means of dissemination. A university press is therefore crucial in the realisation of the functions of a university, hence the Íæż½ã½ã Press.
As an effective agent for the dissemination of research findings and communication of scholarly knowledge, UONP draws majority of its authors from among scholars in the universities and research institutions world wide.
