Abstract
the study deals with a theoretical exposition of management and planning of freshers' orientation for quality educational administration in public tertiary institutions in Cross River State, Nigeria: The University Experience. It informs that orientation programs are structured initiatives designed to integrate new students, employees, or members into an organisation or institution by familiarising them with its history, policies, culture, and resources. The study highlights the basic roles of orientation programs, such as a university or workplace, by providing information, fostering social connections, and introducing them to the culture and resources of the organisation. While crucial for newcomer adjustment and retention, the design and effectiveness of these programs, including their content, delivery methods (such as online options), and duration, should be continually evaluated and adapted to best meet the needs of diverse participants for optimal success in their new academic endeavours. Several issues and possible solutions from the researcher's perspective were also highlighted in the paper
