Information and Communication Technology (ICTC)
The Knowledge of information and Communication Technology has greatly enhanced the job performance of the Registry. With ICTC, Information is now stored and retrieved electronically. For instance, staff personnel records are now stored electronically. This has reduced the volume of papers for meetings of A&PC, thereby saving costs for the University.
Similarly, the minutes and records of Senate meetings are now stored and transmitted electronically to members. This automation has assisted the Registry in its functions in student’s admission, Registration processes, staff recruitment etc. In order to remain relevant in the new electronic age, quality ICT training and retraining are prevalent in the Registry.
The Directorate System
The Directorate system of Administration in the Registry involves the devolution of the decision making process and implementation of decisions in the Registry Department. The Directorate system reduces the burden of policy implementation by the Registrar, thus enabling the Registrar to concentrate on policy matters and development of the Registry. Decentralization has helped to boost employee morale, commitment and productivity.
The Directorate system was introduced in the University Registry in 2016 through the magnanimity of the 12th Governing Council. Four Pioneer Directorates were created namely: Directorate of Academic Affairs, Directorate of Personnel Affairs, Directorate of Council Affairs and Directorate of Students Affairs. Four Pioneer Directors were also appointed by the Vice-Chancellor; Mrs. V.T. Jamabo, Mrs. I.B.S. Harry, Mr. L.M. Jaja and Mr. S.C. Enyindah.
It is expected that when the Directorate system of Registry Administration is fully developed and effectively functional, the Registry Department and indeed the University would benefit immensely from the system.
In 2018, at the 14th Regular meeting of the Council, an additional three (3) Directorates were created and they are Directorate of College of Medical Sciences, Directorate of Postgraduate School and Directorate of Legal Affairs.
Four (4) Directors were appointed by the Council, three (3) of them were posted to serve in the above created Directorates, while one took over the Directorate of Council Affairs from Mrs. V.T. Jamabo, who was appointed Acting Registrar of the University. The four (4) Directors were Dr. (Mrs.) I.I. Daminabo, Mrs. Inye Jamaica, Mrs. Elizabeth Abibo and Mr. Joseph Alawa.
