PROF ABDALLA ADAMU TO LINK NATIONAL OPEN UNIVERSITIES OF NIGERIA WITH OPEN UNIVERSITIES AROUND THE WORLD.

During a press interview on the 18th of dec 2018 Proff Abdalla Adamu the VC of the National Open University of Nigeria has made it known to the public on his next agenda after accomplishing the NYSC  and LAW school participation of the institution. He said his next target will be linking the University with its international counterpart, this means a Student of the National Open University of Nigeria can take a Transfer to any Open university worldwide and continue with his or her studies over there, in his voice, this wouldn’t be an easy task judging from the low standard of education in Nigeria as a country compared to the other countries and its open Universities, he also assured he will do everything within his power to make sure National Open university of Nigeria meets the standard of its counterparts worldwide so as to easily achieve his linking goals.

GoodMorning NOUNITES

Starting from where we stopped yesterday

➡A student that starts from 100 level doing a 4 years courses is to pass at least 120 units, while 5 years course is at least 150 units before you can graduate
DE students that is from 200 level is 90 units but to be candid add a minimum of 20 units more to the least required most times your core courses will take care of that but that is where electives are required.

➡ In a semester you can register a maximum of 24 units and follow what i posted yesterday by registering reference/carryover courses first that will be just exam registration which will cost you just a thousand cos it already registered

➡Missing or undone courses doesn't affect your GP it only affect courses where you have F (Fail) which brings down your GP


➡Finally for today, to graduate from NOUN all GST courses must be done and passed, IN 300 level you must do a course called RESEARCH METHODOLOGY and must pass it, for Education you must do all your TP, Department with Seminar, you must register and do your presentation and pass and if your department is doing IT you must do it and pass it also.


Thank you.

ATTENTION PLEASE!!!


The University Management has received complaints of students being levied by some Study Centres to participate in the ongoing project’s defence and moderation. Available information indicates that some of the levy is said to be earmarked for ferrying the projects, the staff, and the Supervisors to the venue of the exercise.

For the avoidance of doubt, all Study Centre Directors and indeed all staff dealing with students are reminded that the aforementioned levies are not part of the fees approved by the University Management and are, therefore, ILLEGAL.

It has also been explained that the cost of transporting projects and the traveling expenses of study Centres’ staff to the venues of the exercise are to be taken from the official imprests of the Study Centres. This is in line with the University’s practice regarding all other official assignments of Study Centres. The students are to transport themselves. Both the travelling expenses and DTA (where applicable) of the visiting Supervisors (who are duly appointed)shall be borne by the University Management upon completion of the attendance sheets.

The purpose of this memo is to sound a note of warning to all officials who have already authorised and collected all such illegal levies toward the exercise, to cease, desist and refund them accordingly to the affected students. Thereafter, a formal report on the refunds should be communicated to the undersigned.


Thank you.

Coordinator, Projects Defence and Moderation

NOUN GETS MORE PROFESSORS FOR OPEN UNIVERSITY

The Governing Council of the National Open University of Nigeria has expressed optimism that the recent assent of President Muhammadu Buhari to the NOUN Amendment Bill 2018 would give greater legitimacy to the university as a full-time open and distance learning (ODL) institution. The chairman of the council, Professor Peter Okebukola, while addressing the media in Lagos on Monday, said the NOUN Act, for which the university eagerly awaits its gazetting, would provide for graduates of the university to be eligible for enrolment in the NYSC Scheme. Okebukola enthused that these provisions and others would set NOUN on a trajectory for improved delivery of quality university education, parity of esteem of products with the conventional universities and a catalyst for the university’s match to be the best open university in Africa by 2030. He further explained that the university was strategising to double its student enrolment from the current 500,000 to 1,000,000 within the next five years, adding that the council is supporting the Senate of NOUN, under the leadership of Professor Abdalla Uba Adamu, the Vice-Chancellor, to improve the quality of the delivery process. Okebukola also hinted that NOUN was in the closing stage of hosting the African Centre of Excellence on Technology Enhanced Learning, to be funded by the World Bank through the National Universities Commission (NUC) with between US$4-6 million in a five-year cycle. The council also noted with pleasure the impressive performance of the vice-chancellor in taking NOUN to greater heights since his assumption of office, citing the efforts of his management team for securing the Centre of Excellence, worthy of praise.

Meanwhile, the Governing Council has announced the promotion of some staff to professorial cadre.

Those promoted are Prof. Onyeka Iwuchukwu – Comparative Literature, Prof. Samaila Mande – Marketing and Communication; Prof. Saheed Ajibola – Mathematics; Dr Aliede Jonathan – Associate Professor of Mass Communication; Dr Rosemary Obodo – Associate Professor of Guidance and Counseling; and Dr Kareem Aminu – Associate Professor of Educational Psychology.

Others are Dr. Alero Akujobi – Associate Professor of Law, and Dr Samson Osoba – Associate Professor of Transport Management.

Happening in Lagos :

The Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Abdalla Uba Adamu, launched Roll- up banners on Ethical Reporting to mark the 2018 world Anti-Corruption Day.

The event was put together by the Anti-Corruption and Transparency Monitoring Unit, ACTU Unit of NOUN.

The Vice-Chancellor charged all staff to imbibe the culture of whistle-blowing but called for caution while doing so, to avoid implicating the innocent.

NOUN TARGETS 1m ENROLMENT IN FIVE YEARS

The Governing Council of the National Open University of Nigeria (NOUN) says it plans to increase students’ enrolment to one million in five years.

This followed President Muhammadu Buhari’s approval last week which allows NOUN graduates to participate in the annual National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) scheme and its law graduates permitted to attend law school.

At a briefing addressed by the NOUN Governing Council Chairman, Prof. Peter Okebukola, in Lagos, he said the planned enrolment would be in tandem with the Ministerial Strategic Plan 2016-2019 on increasing access to university education.

Good morning all

Complement Of The Season, most students are done with exams I guess I wish you all the best has you await results.

As at this hour some students have not done their GST TMA in the new portal please I will strongly advise you do your GST TMA in the new portal and even if you paid someone to help you try and check yourself and if you can't check yourself tell the person that helped you send the screenshot as evidence its important.

I will wait till exams are finally over till i bring up some issues affecting students from graduating from the school, on several occasions I do tell people that Higher Institution is an individualistic school and not a community education whereby you have people that monitor your progress. You need to make sure that you know where you stand each semester and where you need to buckle up in the new one, a new semester will soon start and we will be seeing the common post " please I need the courses we registering this semester" my dear it doesn't work that way go into your portal and see what you ought to do this semester.

What will be your gain if after you rounded up in 400 level and you discover that a course in your previous level is holding you down.

I will stop here and wait till exams are over before I talk more on managing your portal best base on your performance and not base on what is happening in the level/semester you are.
Thanks and watch out from next week

ASESI LAUDS BUHARI OVER APPROVAL OF NYSC, LAW SCHOOL FOR NOUN

The African Students Education Support Initiative (ASESI) has applauded President Muhammadu Buhari over the approval granted the graduates of National Open University of Nigeria (NOUN) to enrol for the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) and the Nigerian Law School.

Presidential Assistant on National Assembly (Senate), Sen. Ita Enang, had announced the assent of the President while addressing State House correspondents on Friday.

ASESI’s Executive Director, Mr Chinonso Obasi, in a statement on Saturday, in Abuja, said that the journey to the amendment of the NOUN Act commenced on May 3, 2017.

He said that the House of Representatives Committee on Tertiary Education and Service under the leadership of Aminu Suleiman invited him for the presentation of Memoranda on a call for the council of legal Education and body of benchers to allow law graduates of the National Open University of Nigeria Enrollment into Nigerian Law school (HR. 165/2016) “We thank President Buhari for harkening to our prayers as contained in our memoranda especially at the moment that hopes were almost lost. “Undoubtedly, NOUN graduates are refined and NOUN has given great opportunity for Nigerians to gain tertiary education as it stands as the most populated tertiary institution in Nigeria today with a population size of over half a million. “Consequently it is imperative for the Federal Government to also expedite plans/actions to establish more law schools and NYSC camps across the geopolitical zones in the country to accommodate the high influx of NOUN graduates. “We are grateful to Buhari as this will go a long way to clear the dichotomy and misconceptions faced by the NOUN graduates as majority of her students study with fears of acceptability in the society upon graduation,’’ he said. Obasi appealed to Buhari to assent to other assent to other bills like the Bill for an Act to Make it Mandatory for the Immediate Issuance and Release of Certificates to Graduating Students in all Tertiary institutions in Nigeria and for other Related Matters (HB. 56 & HB. 439).

He also made a case for the Bill for an Act to Amend the Students’ Union Activities ( Control and regulation) Act. CAP. S14, LFN 2004 to Remove the Restrictions on Student Unionism; and for other Related Matters(HB. 236)

The Executive Director of ASESI also called on the Student Union leaders in Nigeria to devote more time to legislative matters in the National Assembly that could improve, strengthen and protect the general well-being of Nigerian Students.

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), were on a sensitization/enlightenment programme: “Engaging the public in the fight against corruption” which held at the NOUN University Headquarters earlier today. The programme was in collaboration with the universities anti-corruption and transparency unit (ACTU).

The Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Abdalla Uba Adamu, who was represented by the DVC Admin, Prof. Victor Adedipe, in his welcome address applauded the commissions leadership for taking out time to enlighten members of the university community and the public on how to prevent corruption and assured them that NOUN is transparent and complaint with the existing extant public service rules and regulations.

The Head, Enlightenment & Re-orientation unit, EFCC, Samin Amaddin who led the team of officials gave a paper presentation on “Preventing Corruption in Public Service” which was aimed at guiding public servants on how to carry out their jobs accurately without getting involved in corrupt practices.

The paper also addressed the effect and implications of corruption and corrupt practices in Nigeria alongside the consequences of getting involved with fraudulent activities like money laundering, mismanagement of public funds etc.

The Registrar, Mr. Felix Edoka who gave the closing remarks, assured the officials that their impact on creating awareness about the duties of the EFCC will be felt.

Principal officers and staff of NOUN threw questions at the EFCC officials who in turn responded adequately.

Souvenirs were exchanged between both parties. The EFCC officials also decorated the principal officers with their lapels which automatically identifies them as corruption fighters.
