The Registrar of the University of
Ilorin, Emmanuel Obafemi, has said
that the institution would, from
January 2014, be fully digitalised. Speaking on Sunday in Ilorin, Mr.
Obafemi said that the development
would make it possible for lecturers to
be able to send assignments to their
students via the Internet. “As from January 2014, University of
Ilorin lecturers would be able to send
assignments to their students through
the Internet from the comfort of their
homes,” he said, adding that students
would also be able to respond via the same channel. He said that the school had ordered
for 25,000 pieces of mini iPads from
the U.S. for the students to enable
lecturers to send assignments to them
from home. He noted that the iPads were already
fully loaded with the students’ courses
and each student would get one as
they resume in January. Mr. Obafemi confirmed that because
the iPad was produced in large
quantity, the university had subsidised
its price, noting that the whole school
was already connected to the Internet. He expressed the readiness of the
institution’s administration to make
the university one of the best in
Nigeria and Africa. Mr. Obafemi noted that the school
would continue to encourage
programmes and policies that
promote global best practices in the
education system. The registrar gave an assurance that
the institution would sustain the
legacy of the past Vice Chancellor,
Ishaq Oloyede. “If you come here in another five
months, you will see a positively
different Unilorin and well managed
institution,” Mr. Obafemi said. He commended the management of
the institution and expressed delight
in the fact that the university had not
gone on strike in 13 years. (NAN)
