Prof. Ogunji stated this on Tuesday 25th February, 2020, while making presentation titled ‘Examination, Examination Malpractice and Quality Assurance’ during a one day training, organised for the lecturers of the Centre at the CES Auditorium. He noted that there is need to differentiate between external and internal Quality Assurance System as it is important for everyone to know the ethics and norms guiding the organization. The Director stressed that while external system imposes a mechanism of checking from outside the quality of service provided, internal systems on the other hand, are mechanisms established within an institution aimed at improving delivery of services.
