The retreat was in every material sense a wake-up call to staff to clarify our priorities and be amenable to change. A major issue that came to the fore at the retreat was how to keep tabs of our growth in relation to the University's vision and mission. The Guest Speaker at the opening ceremony did justice to the issue as he opened up vistas of expansion into our untapped potentials. Speaking on the theme: Measuring Our Progress at FUTMINNA, the speaker challenged participants on the need for a paradigm shift, particularly in keeping with the global academic tradition of measuring with necessary Key Performance Indices, KPIs.
