The Registrar of Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta (FUNAAB), Dr. Bola Adekola has disclosed that graduates of the University will soon be able to request and collect their transcripts online from any part of the world.
He added that the University is also introducing electronic-Senate (e-Senate) platform for senate activities.
Dr. Adekola disclosed this at a workshop organized for Registry staff of the University; noting that in addition to requests for transcript online, verification of results, certificates, statement of results, notification of results and letter of attestation would also be accessible globally online soon.
The essence of the workshop according to him was to demonstrate the e-Senate platform that would be introduced for Senate activities.
According to him, it would be beneficial for Principal Registrars, Deputy Registrars, College Officers and Senior Registrars as well as those that are involved in Senate activities, both at the College and University levels.
He urged the staff to adopt and familiarize themselves with the Senate’s new portal, stating that work on paper will go into extinction soon.
Explaining the rationale behind the e-Senate, the Chief Administrative Officer of the University described the distribution of paper as time consuming, hence, the need to move beyond the use of paper work.
Earlier in his remarks, the Vice-Chancellor of the University, Professor Kolawole Salako lauded the initiative while he charged concerned Registry staff to brace up to the new development.
He noted that the e-senate will create efficiency and secure information at the Senate.
