Many of us, especially those aspiring to be lectures, have come across method of application captured in the title above.

Isn't it baffling that in the 20th century Universities who are suppose to be trailblazers are actually trailers?

let's do some calculation: An applicant applying for such jobs may need to print about 500 pages of paper. To say the least, this is not economical.

This writeup was provoked by an advert I saw from Ekiti State University requiring applicants to submit 30 copies of their application.

I therefore call on all university registrars to emulate schools like Ondo State University who has adopted online method of application. Times have change; our universities should not take us back. You can ask for hard copies after the applicant has scaled through the selection process.

I just applied for the position of GA in one university in the north and the applications prerequisite demanded 20 copies of relevant documents translating to about 700 copies of the documents I quoted in my application.
With the advent of technology, things should be more easier.

Well,the copies you make will be distributed among the interview team so each one can have a copy for grading and accessment purpose..they expect you to spend your money and save them the time/cost to make it for you..
Except the school is willing to buy a specialized Tablet and easy to use application for that purpose

I see. So they want us to keep spending our money.

I think it should be done electronically at the initial stage.

What happens to the provision of a mail address? in this age and time, no wonder our education isn't going forward... Imagine FUOYE asking for 30 copies of your documents
