Professor Okwuonu informed the participating Heads of Departments and other attendees that the Vice Chancellor’s laudable initiative was meant to minimise incidences of human errors or interferences during the computation of students’ results. On the introduction of digital (online) completion and submission of staff appraisal forms for promotion, Professor Okwuonu said that the online staff appraisals would migrate the University from paper form of appraisal to paperless form of appraisals, thereby removing the burden of huge financial costs and cumbersome manual processing staff undergo.

In his concluding remarks, Professor Okwuonu expressed his appreciation to the Vice Chancellor for approving the capacity training workshop for HoDs and other staff of the University.
