The Governing Council of the University of Ilorin (UNILORIN), Kwara State, has approved the appointment of Mansur Alfanla as the institution’s Registrar-designate.
UNILORIN, in a statement issued on Saturday by its Director of Corporate Affairs, Kunle Akogun, said the appointment was one of the highlights of the 183rd meeting of the council held on March 23, and presided over by its acting chairman, Prof. Saburi Adesanya.
Akogun stated that Alfanla is a Deputy Registrar and current Secretary of the institution’s Postgraduate School, saying he will take over from the current Registrar, Dr Fola Olowoleni, when her tenure ends in April.
Akogun said the development followed the rigorous consideration of the reports of the selection committee earlier constituted by the council, which evaluated the eligibility of the candidates shortlisted for the interview to fill the soon-to-be-vacant position.
