Plateau State University Aims for Excellence in Global University Administration

Plateau State University (PLASU) has set its sights on becoming a key player in global university administration through innovative reforms and capacity-building initiatives. A cornerstone of this ambition was the maiden Registry Week, held from November 26th to 28th, 2024, designed to inspire and enhance productivity among the university’s human resource managers.

Acting Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Shedrack Best, highlighted the pivotal role of the registry in university success. "The success of the university depends on the registry. It's not about the location, infrastructure, or principal officers but about the quality of personnel and human capital," he remarked. He emphasized that a university's strength lies in maintaining accurate records, fostering knowledge, and serving as an information repository.

The university’s Registrar, Yakubu Ayuba, underscored his commitment to equipping senior registry staff with IT skills. "We want to position them for the IT revolution in university administration," Ayuba said, aligning with the university's ICT policy. This initiative is part of Ayuba’s vision to leave a legacy of highly trained, efficient administrative staff capable of delivering world-class services.

Registry Week Highlights:

• November 26th: A colorful road walk and sporting activities kicked off the event.
• November 27th: Review of departmental achievements and activities.
• November 28th: A workshop featuring scholars and administrators from various institutions. Discussions centered on the theme, "Oiling the Wheels of Administration in PLASU," focusing on improving efficiency and ethical practices in the registry.

The event exemplifies PLASU’s proactive approach to enhancing its administrative framework, ensuring it meets global standards while fostering a positive impact on its community and beyond.
