The don stated that government funding of public universities was no more sustainable, saying the stakeholders too needed to be involved in the funding of the institutions.
“Implicit in this is the need for every institution to put in place a computer-based enterprise resource planning model for a better determination of the real costs of
education, training and research coupled, most importantly, with the optimal management of resource inflow and outflow. This will facilitate the evolution of evidence-based policies and implementation to achieve sustainable financing of our universities.” The don also appealed to the graduates of the institution to acquire more knowledge and skills, using information through Information and Communication Technology to make them employable.
“As for graduate employability, my appeal to the graduates is that they should embrace the concept of learning to learn through which you use the opportunities that exist through the ICT-enabled information superhighway towards enhancing the skills acquired within the four walls of the university. “Our lecturers are now facilitators equipping you with the basic skills and tools of analysis that we are expected to build upon to thrive in the local and global economies,” he admonished.All rights reserved.
