It’s a new session and as expected after a long vacation, monumental changes as well as improvements to previous status quo in a university environment like ours most times are experienced. A very notable one, though, this session is the Introduction of Biometric Technology in the student’s registration process.
In a generation as ours where digitalization now holds sway and everything is been computerised on a daily basis, Biometric Technology shouldn’t be something strange to us students as we sure know what it’s all about except if your parents still parcel your monthly Osusu to you through Uduaghan bus (which means you didn’t participate in the recent and ongoing BVN registration of Bank customers) or you probably used a 2010 UTME result to obtain admission. Whichever is the case, the issue here isn’t about the Biometric Technology as it may be but why has the University Authority decided to introduce it into the system?
For a brief, Biometric Technology is a tool employed mainly for identification and access control purpose through the use of captured physiological attributes which include fingerprints, facial capture etc. Its effectiveness stems from the fact that every human being on the earth’s surface is unique and as such can be identified by his/her intrinsic physical or behavioural traits. In an environment like ours it is sure to find numerous application ranging from security purposes at strategic places like the university entrance, in hostels possibly to checkmate the infiltration of foreign bodies, at the school library to ensure library users are duly registered ones, for easier and effective data collection. The purposes are countless but one very notable area it finds application is in the curbing of impersonation during lectures for attendance collation and for examinations.
The message here is obviously this, “All students who fail to get their Biometrics captured during the exercise which is ongoing at the school café at Law faculty will not be able to pay his/her school fees and ceases to be a student of the institution as it sure means he/she won’t be identified in subsequent school activities." From our desk at Campus Echoes we encourage all students to quickly sought theirs out as quickly as possible if the Friday deadline rumours been peddled around has any truth in it.
