Date: 2024-11-19

The Vice Chancellor of the University of Ilorin, Prof. Wahab Olasupo Egbewole, SAN, has called for intensified advocacy efforts by the National Universities Commission Parastatal SERVICOM Committee (NUC/PSC) to raise awareness among Nigerians about SERVICOM's contributions to public service.

Speaking while receiving a delegation comprising representatives from the Office of the Head of Service of the Federation, the National Universities Commission, the Ministry of Education, and other institutions, Prof. Egbewole emphasised the importance of showcasing SERVICOM's impact.

The delegation's visit coincided with the 4th Quarter 2024 NUC/PSC Meeting hosted by the Unilorin SERVICOM Unit. The Vice Chancellor noted that while commendable work is already underway, enhanced advocacy would enable more Nigerians to appreciate SERVICOM's efforts in driving service delivery across the country.

Prof. Egbewole, who appreciated the Unilorin SERVICOM Unit, headed by Mrs Omowumi Azeez, for living up to expectation by promoting efficient and effective service delivery in the University, especially praised the SERVICOM's role in monitoring prices of commodities on the campus to prevent overbilling the students.

Speaking earlier, the National Coordinator and Chief Executive Officer of the SERVICOM Office at the Presidency, Mrs Nnenna Akajemeli, explained that SERVICOM is the government's customer service arm within the universities, ministries, departments, and agencies, which is responsible for supervising and overseeing how effectively services impact citizens and stakeholders.

While expressing appreciation for the support given to the SERVICOM Unit at the University of Ilorin, Mrs Akajemeli commended the leadership of the University on its hospitality. She also recognised the efforts of its SERVICOM focal person for her dedication.

She also recognised the efforts of its SERVICOM Focal Person, Mrs Azeez, for her dedication. The National Coordinator also acknowledged the importance of focusing on students, who are the primary reason for the existence of institutions like the University.

She, however, stated that the Unilorin Service Chatter, which will be launched as part of activities lined up for the 4th quarterly meeting is an essential tool that can be used to hold service providers like the university management accountable in order to promote transparency, and ensure that services are delivered effectively and responsibly.
