According to Mr. Nyan, a university administrator’s schedule may have managerial dimensions. Some of the managerial jobs, he said, ‘include identification, design, costing, execution, monitoring and evaluation of outcomes vis-?- vis the institution’s mission and vision. He said a major concern of management is quality assurance. In this respect, the job of the administrator may involve ensuring the systematic delivery of quality education which yields satisfactory outcomes in the shortest possible time at the least cost.

The schedule officer may therefore be required to provide secretarial services to boards and committees as well as be involved in policy initiation and facilitation. ‘The University Administrator may also play a key role in supervision and coordination of work;’ he said.
