A former president, Olusegun
Obasanjo, on Tuesday said he
has written to the Council for
Legal Education over the
purported refusal of the
council to admit graduates of
National Open University of
Nigeria (NOUN) into the
Nigerian Law School.
Mr. Obasanjo disclosed this
while addressing members of
NOUN Law Students
Association of Nigeria and
other alumni of the
university who paid him a
courtesy visit at his Hilltop
mansion in Abeokuta, Ogun
State.
The meeting was a sequel to
Mr. Obasanjo’s visitation to
the NOUN Abeokuta Study
Centre in August last year
when the school management
sought his intervention on
the law student’s admission
into the Nigeria Law School.
The former president, who
graduated from NOUN and is
currently undertaking master
and Ph.D programs in the
institution, insisted that
NOUN is not running a
correspondence programme
but a full time study adding
that he physically receives
lectures in the institution and
not through correspondence.
“I’ve written to the CLE but it
seems some people out there
didn’t get it right. They said
the school of law is offering
correspondence programmes
and I said it to anyone I met
that I graduated from the
school and I am presently
running my master and Ph.D
in NOUN, so the notion is
incorrect,” he said.
Mr. Obasanjo said the failure
to recognise NOUN courses is
undermining the whole
institution, adding that such
development will be resisted.
He said NOUN is new institution that is
growing every day, adding that
institution’s management are also
working hard to further develop the
school.
He however urged students particularly
law graduates of NOUN to be patient
with the authorities, saying that getting
accreditation is not automatic.
