The training was hosted by the Registrar, Commodore Isaac M. Mankilik (Rtd), PhD, and facilitated by Mr. Kingsley O. Aduga, Deputy Registrar of the Consultancy Unit. Key highlights included:
- The "Rule Book" Philosophy: Staff were encouraged to strictly adhere to statutory guidelines, ensuring “smart administration” and institutional protection.

Representing the Registrar, Mr. Gideon Orhewere (Deputy Registrar, Establishment) highlighted management’s commitment to equipping staff with essential tools to safeguard ADUN documents and optimize workflow.
The training concluded with a renewed sense of purpose, reinforcing the importance of continual professional development. By emphasizing “re-learning” and productivity, ADUN positions its Registry to effectively navigate the increasing complexities of modern university administration.
