BeraBera: “The attention of the NUC has been drawn to the fact that some universities conduct supplementary examination for their students, in addition to regular semester examinations… This contradicts the Course Credit System in operation in the Nigerian university system, which has no provision for re-sit or supplementary examinations.
“For the avoidance of doubt, the Course Credit System provides that courses should be taken on semester basis and a course failed in one semester should be carried over to the following year and to be re-taken at the next available opportunity.” http://talkofnaija.com/news_details.aspx?NewsId=C7A372C3-AB0E-464E-A3A7-2211D4DB648B

Tony Spike: This latest rule by NUC may be mainly directed towards the private universities. As we all know, these universities don't believe students can fail after paying so much money, so they organise re-sits during holidays at a "marketable" fee.

afam4eva: What's their business with what goes on inside a school. Shouldn't it be the duty of the universities to determine whether or not they want their students to resit? I think some people are taking lectures from Fashola of Lagos. This law is a draconian law that does not sit well with common sense me.

Joey82: resit ke?
I neva heard that name through out my school days,
and the law isnt draconian, if u fail a course, u carry it over, reasob being that scripts are not immediately marked and compiled because of the bulk of work on lecturer's table.
so i'm wondering how the resit thing is executed, i think its fraudulent.

SlyIg: I even thought its carry over courses they were talking abt. But wait a minute,if they should say 'no more carry over courses in d uni ...' wow!

BeraBera: The National Universities Commission (NUC), the body charged with the responsibility of monitoring the activities of universities in the country, has banned the conduct of re-sit examinations in Nigerian universities.
The NUC, in a statement by its Chief Information Officer, Mrs Bukola Olatunji, in Abuja, on Wednesday, frowned on the discovery that some universities conduct supplementary examination for their students, in addition to regular semester examinations.
The commission therefore warned that the conduct of such examinations was in violation of extant rules and regulations, and urged all universities involved to stop the practice henceforth or face sanction.
In her words, “The attention of the NUC has been drawn to the fact that some universities conduct supplementary examination for their students, in addition to regular semester examinations… This contradicts the Course Credit System in operation in the Nigerian university system, which has no provision for re-sit or supplementary examinations.

gidiMonsta:

I'm so glad u crossed common sense cos it seems to be far from you at this moment.

What concerns NUC with what goes on in a university? Are you for real?

alaoeri: This 'll surely reduce the number of first class & 2.1 in babcock, covenant etc.

That reminds me of a guy I worked with in the same department (research/statistics) during my youth service days. He graduated from one of these Private Unis. We studied the same course (Economics). I was like his lecturer in the office. Perhaps, I wept profusely when he told me he made first class in Economics. The guy in question would have found it difficult to graduate with 2.2 in my school. That is what private Uni/money can do
