The acting Executive Secretary of the National Universities Commission (NUC), Mr. Chris Maiyaki, has called for the importance of quality assurance and reputational capital in transforming Nigeria’s educational landscape.

The NUC scribe made the call while delivering the Babcock University inaugural Registry Lecture titled, “The Role of the University Administrator in a Changing University Environment: Issues and Prospects.”

He highlighted the evolving role of university administrators in today’s dynamic higher education landscape, stressing the need for adaptability, innovation, and strategic leadership.

He urged administrators to “develop a creative and innovative mind-set to drive growth and progress and be adaptable and responsive to contemporary demands and challenges.”

He also emphasized the importance of mastering new technologies to enhance efficiency and effectiveness, while cautioning that technology should be a means to achieving university goals, not an end in itself.

Maiyaki noted, “NUC recommends integrating local content with emerging technologies and competencies, as outlined in the new university curriculum policy to enhance content and relevance to scholars.

“By following these recommendations, university administrators can contribute to creating a thriving university ecosystem that fosters academic excellence, innovation and growth.”

Apart from the Babcock University community, the hybrid lecture also provided valuable insights for other university administrators, academics, and stakeholders, sparking reflections on the future of higher education leadership.

Participants included institutional stakeholders from Adeleke University, Covenant University, Clifford University, and Tai Solarin University of Education.
