I recently applied to get my transcript from the uni I attended. It was like I had to pay this, pay that, even to currier it via DHL a lot of money exchanged hands. I live in Europe. If you attend any schools here, once you finish your programme they will give you results and even the transcript by hand. They don't care about what you do with it. But in Nigeria, maybe Unilag, they treat it like one secred thing that the supposed owner cannot see or touch. So what is the rational behind this in Nigeria?

So difficult and annoying

The better by far University is so ahead of most Uni in Nigeria, you get your certificate and transcript a week to your convocation. then no long waiting to go for your youth service, you are deployed to your state of service a week or 2 after graduation.
