By Abubakar Imam
A Senior Lecturer at the Department of Arabic and Transnational Studies, University of Ilorin, Dr Abdus-salam Babatunde Ambali, has enjoined academic staff of the University to always prepare good coursewares in order to enhance service delivery and visibility.
Dr Ambali made this call last Monday (November 2, 2026) while making a presentation at the Faculty of Arts Courseware Revitalisation Exercise held at the Faculty Boardroom.
The don, along with Dr I. Abdulmalik of the Department of French, represented the Faculty of Arts in the earlier Courseware Revitalisation Training organised by the University and which was facilitated by the pioneer Dean of the Faculty of Communication and Information Sciences, Prof. L. O. Aina.
Dr Ambali explained that the preparation of the courseware is akin to planning for lectures as he said that anyone who fails to plan, plans to fail.
He, therefore, stressed the need for adequate preparation to enable the lecturers impart the required magnitude and quality of knowledge on their students as expected.
Also speaking at the event, the Dean of the Faculty, Prof. Ibrahim Abdulganiyu Jawondo, commended Dr Abdus-salam for his presentation, which he described as very thorough and thought-provoking. He added that the training should continue on one-on-one basis to attain the desired goal.
He also thanked the Chairman of the University Library and Publications Committee, who is also the immediate past University Librarian, Prof. Abdulwahab Olanrewaju Issa; and Prof. O. C. Abikoye of the Department of Computer Science for the earlier training they facilitated for Dr Abdus-salam and his colleagues earlier in the year and which has proven to be beneficial to members of the Faculty.
The Dean encouraged participants to adhere strictly to the advice offered by Dr Abdus-salam to ensure efficient service delivery to the students and the larger society.
The event attracted Heads of Departments and lecturers from all the Departments in the Faculty.
