About thirty staff drawn from the registry, bursary and technical departments of Olabisi Onabanjo University, Ago-Iwoye are presently undergoing a 5-Day Trainning Workshop at the Knutsford University College, East Legon, Accra-Ghana.
According to the Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Ganiyu Olatunji
Olatunde, the university has taken a bold step to sponsor
this category of staff after the initial arrangement to
secure TetFund sponsorship did not materialize. Professor
Olatunde stated further that he hoped staff would
appreciate the university’s efforts at ensuring that their
training and development remain in the front burner of the
university management’s plan.
The Vice-Chancellor informed the participants before their departure that adequate logistical provisions to ensure their comfortable stay in Ghana had been put in place. He added that he was confident that their participation at the workshop would enhance their knowledge and skills in service delivery in today’s competitive environment.
Some of the participants spoken to by the university media
reporter expressed their happiness for having the
opportunity to travel out of the country to attend such an
important workshop. According to one of them who pleaded
to remain anonymous, he profusely thanked the management
for releasing fund for the trip after so many
postponements due to the inability of the university to
secure sponsorship from TetFund.
The theme for the workshop is “Raising the Bar for Global Excellence in Africa Tertiary Institutions: Strategic Training for Leaders”. The workshop will end on Friday, 12th May, 2018. The Registrar, Mrs Omolara Osunsanya and the Bursar, Mr Semiu Makinde were saddled with the responsibility to lead the participants to the venue.
