The Administration of Gift Valuation and Handling
Soliciting of Gifts: Officers are not allowed to solicit gifts, discounts or any special favours
from manufacturers, retailers and members of the Public on account of their official capacity.
Unsolicited Gifts: Unsolicited gifts offered to an officer on account of his official position or
official work area are to be declined at the onset. Where, because of circumstances, it is
impractical or inappropriate to refuse the gift, the officer may accept the gift but he has to
declare it immediately using the appropriate form. The officer may be allowed to retain the git
with or without payment depending on the value of the gift on condition that it does not result
in possible conflict of interest, upon approval from the Principal/ Branch Head.
In general officers should not accept expensive gifts from students. Nonetheless, they may

accept handmade art and crafts made by their students for them.
