UNILAG Boosts Administrative Capacity with Immersive Staff Training

In a proactive step toward enhancing public university administration across Africa, the University of Lagos (UNILAG) has launched an intensive training program for newly appointed administrative staff. Spearheaded by the Staff Training and Development Unit (ST&DU), the two-day training aims to equip recently converted administrative personnel with essential skills and insights for their new roles. With a theme of “New Role, New You: Acquiring Relevant Knowledge, Skills, and Attitude for New Job Roles,” the program underscores the university’s commitment to continuous learning and professional development.

At the opening ceremony, Mrs. Aderonke Asiwaju, Director of ST&DU, emphasized the importance of the initiative. “This training is designed to hone skills, deepen understanding of university administration, and instill the values and standards that define our institutional culture,” she said. Mrs. Asiwaju highlighted that capacity-building efforts like these are essential in the African higher education sector to achieve excellence in service delivery and career fulfillment among staff.
