MY DEANSHIP MANIFESTO
My dear colleagues
The deanship election is here. Tomorrow, 28-09-2010, is the day. I am coming out for the election and I humbly solicit your vote.
If elected, I will work for you and with you to develop a world class Faculty of Education in which every staff is offered adequate opportunity for academic and professional self-actualisation.
To achieve this vision I will, if given your esteemed mandate:
· Develop a mentoring programme for young academics, to help them actualize their academic dreams.
· Institutionalize a system of international exposure to mid-career and senior academics
· Intensify efforts to attract external research facilities to the Faculty.
· Bring in experience of creative teaching and responsible social commitment from my international connections.
· Institutionalize the practice of participatory management.
I THEREFORE SEEK YOUR ESTEEMED MANDATE TO ENABLE US TO TAKE THE FACULTY OF EDUCATION OF THIS GREAT UNIVERSITY TO THE NEXT LEVEL
Thank you in advance for joining the much-awaited faculty transformation train.
Lilian-Rita Ifeoma Akudolu
