members on the best way to do their job as
administrators.

well though there is need for improvement
especially in carrying members along for
development of administrative work force and the
University. As the life wire of the University, he
emphasized the need for all the administrators to
have good command of English both in speaking
and writing. He therefore charged all hands to be
on deck in order to take the association to the
next level, especially as it pertains to the
proposed election of a new executive for the
Association.
