FEDPOLEL Rector, Dr. Ademola Iyanda Ebeloku
The Rector of the Federal Polytechnic, Ile-Oluji (FEDPOLEL), Ondo State, Dr. Ademola Iyanda Ebeloku, has stressed the importance of the e-appraisal system in modernising the Institution’s performance evaluation process and enhancing administrative efficiency.
He spoke on Tuesday at a one-day sensitisation programme on the implementation of the electronic appraisal (e-appraisal) system for the 2026 Annual Staff Review Exercise, which held at the institution.
A statement by the institution’s Deputy Registrar, Information, Protocol & Passages, Mr Sanmi Enigbokan, said the event brought together academic, senior non-teaching, and junior staff members.
Ebeloku, who was represented by the Deputy Rector, Dr. Samson Adehugha Omogbehin, said the introduction of the electronic appraisal system would facilitate objective, transparent, and timely performance evaluation by enabling staff and supervisors to complete appraisal activities online, monitor performance indicators, provide feedback, and generate reports with greater accuracy, efficiency, and convenience.
According to the statement, “The Rector further highlighted the key benefits of the system to include improved operational efficiency, enhanced transparency and accountability, faster feedback and decision-making, reduced paperwork and administrative costs, as well as improved monitoring of staff development and institutional performance.”
Also speaking, the Registrar, Mr. Gabriel Adeyemi Awe, disclosed that the Management had approved the deployment of the e-appraisal system for the forthcoming annual staff appraisal exercise. He explained that the sensitisation programme was organised to acquaint all members of staff with the new platform and its operational procedures.
He said the e-appraisal system is a paperless platform designed to safeguard appraisal records, reduce administrative costs, shorten the appraisal cycle, and ensure secure long-term storage of staff records.
According to the statement, the Registrar “urged members of staff to embrace the innovation with an open mind, noting that the cooperation and commitment of all stakeholders would be essential to the successful implementation and sustainability of the system.
“During the practical session, the Assistant Registrar, Personnel Affairs Division, Mr. Ayodeji Daniel Olugboyega, demonstrated the features and operation of the e-appraisal platform. He informed participants that access to the system would be granted exclusively through staff members’ official institutional email addresses via the Polytechnic’s website.
“During the interactive session, participants recommended that the implementation timeline should be sufficiently flexible to accommodate all users and that identified technical issues should be resolved before full deployment to ensure seamless operation. Management assured participants that all observations and recommendations would be duly considered to guarantee the effectiveness of the system.
“The sensitisation programme was also attended by the Polytechnic Librarian, Dr. Fasa Rachael Aladeniyi; Deans of Schools; Directors; and Heads of Departments, Divisions, and Units.”
