FULafia VC Urges Registry Staff To Embrace AI, Digital Skills

The Vice-Chancellor of the Federal University of Lafia (FULafia), Prof. Mohammed Isa Kida, has urged Registry Department staff to adopt digital technologies and Artificial Intelligence (AI) to improve administrative efficiency and service delivery.

Kida made the call during a two-day capacity-building workshop organised by the Directorate of Staff Training and Development for Registry personnel.

The workshop, themed: "Building a Digitally Competent Registry: Leveraging ICT and Artificial Intelligence for Administrative Excellence," focused on equipping staff with relevant digital skills to meet the demands of modern university administration.

Represented by the Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Administration), Prof. Aleruchi Chuku, Kida said digital competence was no longer optional but essential for effective administration.

He urged participants to apply the knowledge acquired during the training to their daily duties to enhance productivity and institutional performance.

Earlier, the Acting Director of the Directorate, Mrs Becky Kajo, described the Registry as the engine room of the University's administration, stressing the need for continuous professional development.

The Registrar, Dr Nuradeen Abdul, also urged participants to take the training seriously, describing the Registry as central to the smooth running of the institution.

The workshop featured presentations and practical sessions facilitated by seven resource persons.
