The University of Lagos (UNILAG) Staff Training and Development Unit (STDU) is set to conduct a two-day training program for Deans and Heads of Departments, aimed at strengthening leadership skills and fostering institutional excellence. Scheduled for Tuesday, November 5, and Wednesday, November 6, 2024, the training will take place at the Academic Publishing Centre, next to the Faculty of Social Sciences Complex, from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. each day.

Under the theme "Synergy for Success: Enhancing Institutional Excellence," the program will delve into the roles and responsibilities of Deans and Department Heads, equipping them with strategies to optimize staff performance through effective performance management. Additionally, the training will provide insights into UNILAG’s policies on academic procedures, including deferment, leave of absence, and abscondment, ensuring consistent and informed decision-making across departments.

An essential focus of the program will be on innovative teaching practices tailored for the Gen Z and Alpha Generations, exploring methods that cater to the learning styles of today’s students. By integrating these forward-looking practices, UNILAG aims to enhance academic engagement and outcomes, aligning with global educational trends.

The two-day training represents UNILAG’s commitment to fostering a collaborative environment where institutional leaders are well-equipped to support the university’s goals and uphold its standards of excellence.
