The Vice-Chancellor, Covenant University, Professor Abiodun H. Adebayo, has made a clarion call for adequate training of more seasoned administrators for Nigerian organisations in order to evolve a greater efficiency in the country.
He made this assertion while speaking at the induction ceremony of some Covenant University students and staff by the Chartered Institute of Administration (CIA), which took place on 24th of April, 2023, at the University’s Centre for Entrepreneurial Development main hall.
