While delivering the first lecture on the topic, ‘Challenges and Solution to the Smooth Administration of Tertiary Institution, Mrs Fawale said the role of the registry in running a smooth administration in tertiary institutions cannot be overemphasised.

While speaking on the internal challenges of the registry, she said staff attitude to work is most essential to the success of a tertiary institution administration, adding there is no substitute to good and right attitude to work.

While she decried the effect and prevalence of moral decadence in the students who are the main product of tertiary institutions, she said there is need to maintain discipline in this regard, in order to have smooth and successful administration.
She admonished the management of her institution to maintain a good relationship with all its unions and to endure its extended part of the institution’s inadequate resources toemploy external security services to complement the internal one so as to enjoy a smooth administration.

She charged participants at the seminar to be intentional about maintaining a healthy working relationship in the institution, adding that “ it is realisable and required for effective institutional administration.”
Ealier in her address, the deputy rector of the institution, Mrs Abiodun O. Olubamiwa, who represented the rector, Professor Kazeem A. Adebiyi at a event said the programme was necessary to charge staffers of the registry on their duties and to build a quality workforce.
