The Registrar of the University of Ilorin (UNILORIN) Mr. Emmanuel Obafemi, has said the institution would, from January 2014, be fully digitalised.
Speaking with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) yesterday in Ilorin, Obafemi said the development would make it possible for lecturers to be able to send assignments to their students through the Internet.
“As from January 2014, University of Ilorin lecturers would be able to send assignments to their students through the Internet from the comfort of their homes,’’ adding that students would also be able to respond through the same channel.
He said the school had ordered for 25,000 pieces of mini iPads from the united States (US) for the students, to enable the lecturers to send assignments to them from home.
He noted that the iPads were already fully loaded with the students’ courses and each student would get one as they resume in January.
Obafemi confirmed that because the iPad was produced in large quantity, the university had subsidised its price, noting that the whole school had already been connected to the Internet.
He expressed the readiness of the institution’s administration to make the university one of the best in Nigeria and Africa.
