The university’s Deputy Registrar in charge of Information, Mr Seth Dare, told newsmen that the exercise, which began on Aug. 10, would end on Sept. 4.
He said the biometric data capture was to ascertain the number of students and staff of the university.
``We have commenced compulsory biometric data capture of staff and students toward the issuance of identity cards and for record keeping.
``It is to enable us to know the number of staff and students we have, and also to help us in planning for facilities that will meet up with the number in the institution.
``We have this National University Commission policy on student-staff ratio and so, the exercise is important for us to know if we are on track,’’ Dare said.
Dare said students and staff had been directed to fill online forms from the university’s portal or individual email addresses for the data capture.
``A circular has been issued to that effect and failure to register within this time frame will result in non-issuance of the new identity cards for bona fide staff and students of the institution,’’ the spokesman added.
He urged all staff and students to take advantage of the exercise in a bid to determine the actual population of the university.
