The National University of Lesotho (NUL), as an academic institution, is renowned and reputed to have produced outstanding and eminent figures particularly in Africa and some parts of European and Asian countries through the fundamental mission statement in the fields of teaching, research, community service/consultancy and other advisory roles.

(d) generate additional funds for the University so that it can meet its physical and academic capabilities to serve the nation and the continent better.
