2. In his Keynote Address, the Commandant, Major General CO
Onwuamaegbu, represented by Navy Cdre SO Ojerinde (Director of Coordination)
while welcoming the delegates, expressed delight at the choice of the theme of
the Lecturer which was consistent with his transformation agenda for NDA. He
acknowledged the key role
played by the Registry as the critical hub that
drives the engine room of university administration. This he said, explained
his approval for the institution of the NDA registry Lecture Series to build
capacities of the Registry staff to enable them deliver on their mandate. As
service providers and facilitators of the university processes, he enjoined the
staff to inculcate the right attitude to work and be disciplined in order to
achieve set objectives. He added that they must be engaged in continuous
training and re-training in order to acquire new skills if they were to remain
relevant in the scheme of things. This was against the backdrop that the manual
skills acquired yesterday no longer fits into the digitalized office
environment of today.
