A friend of mine made a 2.2 (2.93) from Western Delta University, Oghara, Delta State. He graduated in 2014 and was mobilised for Batch C 2015. He was issued a statement of result, was mobilised for service and was given a call-up letter by the same university. He was posted to Borno and camped in Nasarawa initially but redeployed to Delta state due to Nysc policy on automatic redeployment to Corp members posted to troubled states.

This guy completed his service in 2015 and was given his discharge certificate. He came back to his school to demand for his transcript cos he wanted to further his studies abroad, only for the school to say he had 10 carryovers. They later said it was 7. The school is telling him to come back to rewrite those courses. This was a guy that was cleared by the department, faculty, bursary, exams and records and every other part of the university. Seriously I don't understand this at all cos the guy's parents are planning on taking legal actions against the university. The statement of result was neither forged, issued under duress or obtained criminally. The school is saying that a mistake was made and that the school has a right to withdraw the result. The guy's lawyer issued a litigation paper to school and the school initially refused to sign but later did and were very furious with the person who signed it. They said they should settle it amicably and so members of the admin came and urged his father not to sue the school that they should settle it amicably and that the school doesn't have money for legal issues and that they've not been paid for 5 months.

Please nairalanders what do you think about this issue. I need answers pls. Mods pls move to front page.

This is a copy of the letter the school lawyer wrote to the boy in question through his lawyer.

What does he want?

Transcript or court litigation??

If the former is what he wants and the school after their initial folly is ready to release that to him, I think he should move on with his studies rather than wasting his time and resources on our "come today, come tomorrow" court system.

My opinion though!

the school is not willing to release it to him that's the problem.

This is serious!

Op, tell the student to follow this procedure:

Write back to the school through your lawyer to sign an undertaken he would be getting his transcript if the case is withdrawn from court. Once the school signs that undertaking.

Court or No court, you done won the case.

Because, if they default in process of settling issues amicably just to get you to come write exams you should sue them again with that signed undertaking plus other proof of graduation.

Anyway they want it....you would win.

sorry to say, when you will be attending 'yeye' universities, why won't you experience outrageous scenarios? Which one is Western Delta University again? Can such happen in a real Nigerian Institution like OAU and co?
And to think they offer to settle such critical case like two tailors fighting. What's amiable to settle in this? Better follow through with the court case and avoid Had I known later!
