This day became a reality as a result of your determination and commitment,\u201d she said.\n\nWhile enlightening the audience on the purpose of the system, Waheed Quader, FMS Head, said: \u201cThis system provides a key link in a project which makes planning easy, supports a line of authority between the requestors and FMS, and also provides a clear report on the status of any ongoing and past project. Once you start using the database system, you will see the advantages.\u201d\n\nMwangi explained how the innovative technology functions irrespective of the user\u2019s location and also outlined the steps that should be taken by clients to request a project. He was then presented with a gift and a farewell card by Koper-Limbourg to commemorate his hard work.\n\nThe FMS project database was officially launched by Kenton Dashiell, IITA Deputy Director General, Partnerships for Delivery.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>IITA Facilities Management Services (FMS) launched its web database platform on 31 October at IITA, Ibadan, to enhance online communication between the Unit and its clients.<\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":16549,"template":"","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}}},"tags":[1844],"science-area":[],"program":[],"location":[32],"news-type":[],"hub":[61],"crop":[],"impact-areas":[],"item-year":[195],"class_list":["post-16548","news-item","type-news-item","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-iita-news-no-2407","location-nigeria","hub-western-africa","item-year-195"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.2 -
