By Abubakar Imam
The Dean of the Faculty of Environmental Sciences, University of Ilorin, Prof. Ganiyu Amuda-Yusuf, has enjoined academic staff of the University to always be ready to adopt and adapt emerging mechanisms that would enhance service delivery.
Prof. Amuda-Yusuf gave this advice last Wednesday (October 7, 2026) while declaring open a workshop on “Courseware Development Training for Academic Staff” organised by the Faculty at its Boardroom.
The Dean, who was represented by the Head of the Department of Quantity Surveying, Dr Ranti Taibat Adebiyi, explained that lecturers must be prepared to go to any length to ensure that their services create the desired impacts on their students.
Prof. Amuda-Yusuf encouraged participants at the workshop to ensure that they put into practice the ideas shared with them by the resource person to ensure their career satisfaction and progression as well as the overall greatness of the University and humanity at large.
In his lecture, the Ag Head of the Department of Estate Management, Dr Halim Yusuf Agava, urged participants to always ensure adequate preparation ahead of every lecture presentation.
He added that lecturers cannot do without adequate preparation in view of the avalanche of resource materials on the internet, saying that they needed to be up to date in order to be able to discharge their responsibilities adequately and command the respect of their students who might have been exposed to relevant materials.
Dr Agava also took participants through the series of steps they needed to take to help them to impart adequate knowledge in their students .
While encouraging lecturers to always encourage attendance of lectures by their students, Dr Agava said that contemporary students do not have any reason not to excel in their studies in view of the increasing evolution in technology that are improving teaching, learning and evaluation.
He said that if the students can learn on their own, their attendance of lectures will not only enhance their knowledge acquisition but also make them outstanding and ensure that they graduate with good grades.
One of the participants at the workshop, who spoke with UNILORIN Bulletin on the sidelines of the event, Mr AbdulAzeez Saliu, commended the leadership of the Faculty for organising the Workshop.
Mr Saliu, who is a staff of the Department of Architecture, explained that the Workshop was quite timely in view of the fact that the 2026/2027 academic session of the University had just commenced.
The event was attended by the Chairman of the University Courseware Development Committee, Prof. Abdulwahab Olanrewaju Issa, who was represented by Dr A. A. Odutayo and all the Heads of Departments in the Faculty.
