The Registrar of the University of Medical Sciences (UNIMED), Ondo State, Ezekiel Adeniran, has disclosed that the registry of the institution is being repositioned for global standards and recognition.

According to Adeniran, who was newly appointed, the university is already positioned to transition to paperless operations, stressing that senate meetings have been fully automated.

The registrar emphasised that the process for requesting transcripts from the institution will be done through the university’s website.

While stressing that the registry must play a critical role in assisting the university in achieving its mission and vision, Adeniran vows to ensure the university gets the proper international attention.

He said: “The University Council has started transitioning to paperless operations, providing laptops for soft-copy communication. Similarly, Senate meetings have also been fully automated. I aim to extend this paperless culture across all administrative processes within a year.

“Students should no longer need to write formal requests for transcripts. Through the university’s website, they can pay the prescribed fee, provide the destination details, and have their transcripts sent automatically.

“The registry has been reorganised into specialised units, including Senate Matters, Admissions, Examinations and Records, Academic Staff Matters, Junior Staff Matters, Pension, Welfare, and Training Units. This restructuring ensures responsibilities are distributed efficiently, preventing overload and improving performance.

“I recognise that a leader’s success depends significantly on the cooperation and commitment of their team. To this end, I’ve focused on recognising staff efforts and assigning senior members to head various units, ensuring fulfilment and motivation. When staff feel valued, their commitment grows, and they perform at their best.

“Over the years, I’ve worked closely with my team, fostering open communication and mutual respect. Their cooperation has been incredible, even in challenging circumstances. While external distractions may arise—often from individuals unfamiliar with university operations—I remain undeterred, focusing on my responsibilities and the institution’s growth.”
