15 inmates drawn from the Nigerian Prisons, Kirikiri, Ikoyi; Maximum Security Prisons and the Medium Security Prisons, recently matriculated having been admitted by the National Open University of Nigeria.

The prisoners were admitted to study courses such asLaw, Theology as well as Peace Study and Conflict Resolution.

The Vice chancellor represented by the Chief Counsellor of NOUN, Mr. Athanasusis Onyeokoro, while speaking during the 12th matriculation ceremony which was held at the Special Centre for the Nigerian Prison Service, KiriKiri, advised the inmates to make maximum use of their study material sand not to allow their present circumstances to derail them from their pursuit, urging them rather to use the opportunity to gain academic laurels.

This has brought the number of inmates studying various degree programmes at the NOUN to 35.
