Jigawa NOUN Director, Dr Abdullahi Dogo calls on Civil Servants In The State..

Director, Jigawa State centre of the National Open University (NOUN), Dr Abdullahi Dogo, has called on civil servants in the state to advance their education by seeking additional qualification in the centre. Dogo made the call, in Dutse, on Monday.

He stressed the need for the civil servants and members of the public to acquire more knowledge in order to improve their productivity and contribute to development of the society.
According to him, the university offers Post Graduate Diploma, First and Master’s Degrees in various fields.

“The institution provides an opportunity for Nigerians, especially civil servants to further their education.
“Additional qualification will enable them to improve their productivity so that they can contribute to the development of their society,’’ he said.

The director said that interested candidates could purchase forms for enrolment in any of NOUN’s academic programmes in the centre.

Do you think the last Semester's exams were appropriately marked? Why?

NOUN law graduates write Osinbajo on Law School case

THE Law Graduates Forum (LGF) of the National Open University of Nigeria (NOUN) has written to Acting President Yemi Osinbajo on alleged failure to deliver judgment in their case against the Council of Legal Education (CLE).
They sought his intervention in the case challenging their non-admittance to the Law School.
Their letter, dated February 20, was signed by the forum’s chairman, Carl Umegboro, secretary Samuel Adeola, public relations officer Prince Daniel and Victor Mpamugo.
LGF is in court following CLE’s refusal to extend admission quotas to NOUN in the Law School despite the open university’s accreditation by the National Universities Commission (NUC).
They sued at the Federal High Court in Port Hourcourt. Three years later, judgment was fixed, but the judge was transferred .
The law graduates alleged the case spent three years in court due to “unjustifiable delays and politically-motivated technicalities”, which it said were adopted to frustrate them.
They said the case was argued on December 7, after which Justice B.O. Quadiri fixed January 27 for judgment.
“As scheduled, on our arrival from all geographical zones as delegated to the Federal High Court in Port Harcourt, the ugly news was broken that the judgment we travelled far distances to witness would not be delivered as the judge has been transferred to Abuja Division after fixing the judgment but without directives on the matter,” they said.
The forum fears that the matter already fixed for judgment may begin afresh, which it believes would amount to “aberration, intimidation and tyranny”.
“We reject such vindictiveness and undue influences, and request that you (Osinbajo) use your good offices to see that the needful is timely done.
“We also solemnly call upon all well-meaning Nigerians and civil society groups to stand against tyranny and acts capable of thwarting the rule of law before it is too late,” the group said.
LGR said its members had gone through “agonising intimidations and frustrations by the CLE in conjunction with the judiciary as a whole over our rightful admission and training in the Law School, a facility solely-owned by the Federal Government.”
Copies of the letter were addressed to the Civil Liberties Organisation (CLO), the NOUN vice-chancellor, activist-lawyer Femi Falana (SAN), among others.

Many NOUN students are dissatisfied following the recent release of results. One major highlight is the case of inconsistency of result with old record. Some 300 Level students did not see their 100Level results, that among many cases.

If you are affected, it is time to write. Below is a sample of letter to NOUN, requesting for reconciliation of record of result. You can tailor it to suit your case.

I hope you find it useful.

Anthony15 My younger sis can only see 2 of her last semester's result out 9(200l Accounting) .. Is there anything that can be done? Or is it that the results are being released in batches?

yea and the site is temporarily down which they are working in uploading the results, and also correcting some errors in the result

BY: L. DILA Maiduguri study Center 

Independent investigation attributed the mass failure of some NOUN students to the unceremonious shutdown of the university portal sometimes in the last quarter of 2016 as well as the inability of most students to complete the tutors marked assessment (TMA). 

While contemplating whether or not the management will use the TMA in computing their results, It was understood that communication gap between the school and students rendered most students to be reluctant to writing the exams. This has dampened the morale of the students. Hence, they could not concentrate on exam preparations. 

In lieu therefore, NOUN management may wish to consider updating the students on all developments as it affects them. This is with a view to minimizing avoidable failures of students during examination.

MEANING OF SEMESTER COUNT

Semester Count is the number of semesters you have spent in NOUN including your current semester. For example, if you are in 100Level second semester, it means you have spent two semesters in NOUN. Therefore, your semester count is two.

You will be asked your semester count when registering on the portal.

If you are in 300L first semester, your semester count is 5.

Below is the meticulous breakdown.

100L first semester, semester count = 1
100L second semester =2
200L first semester =3
200L second semester = 4
300L first semester = 5
300L second semester = 6
400L first semester = 7
400L second semester = 8

Students of the National Open University of Nigeria (NOUN), have raised eyebrows, registering their disappointments over a cream of suspended courses and poor results recently released.

The result released on Thursday is believed to be poor and a representation of the programming error of computers, and not a true representation of students' performance.

On the other hand, for undisclosed reasons, courses such as Mass-communication, Public Administration, Accounting, Banking and Finance, Law, Marketing, Business Administration, Community Health and a host of others have been suspended.

Returning students are said to be still eligible to continue studying the courses while prospective students and newly admitted ones who are aspiring to choose or have chosen any of the Suspended courses are advised to switch to other courses or request for a refund of their Five Thousand naira application fees.

Recall that last semester, the school website, www.noun.edu.ng was shut down as a result of some fracas between the website host, Cyberspace, and NOUN management.

This led to students not being able to submit their continuous assessment tests, Tutor Marked Assignment (TMA) which comprises 30% of their exam grades.

Sequel to that, students were required to register their exams manually and equally write them via the improvised e-platform which resulted to massive poor E-exam results reportedly caused by erroneous programming of answers in the computers.

According to Prof. Abdalla Adamu, the Vice-Chancellor of the institution, about 70% of the income accruing into the institution is channeled to Cyberspace for the maintenance of the site.

This, Abdalla said, was exorbitant and therefore harnessed the services of in-house Industrial Training (IT) personnel to create a new website, www.nouonline.com recently launched for the institution.

To compensate the students for suffering as a result of the wrong programming, our whistle blower garnered that the institution had purportedly promised to add 25 marks to each students score, but on releasing the results, the promise seems to have been eroded. Students say the promised marks are not reflecting.

Decrying the poor grading system, a 200L student, John Umar (not real name) told us: '' I am highly disappointed in this school. We studied hard to pass our exams but their computers erroneously programmed, graded us poorly. In courses I was supposed to get A's, I had C's, in the ones I was supposed to have C's, I had D's or E's. It's so wicked of them ''.

Commenting on the issue, Joel, another student said that although some students' scores were upgraded, his was not.

'' NOUN should not play with our future. How can they just suspend those all those courses? Also, they promised to add 25 marks to our grades and now, the promise is not reflecting. Although some students were graded quite higher than what they scored during the e-examinations, but the 25 marks were not added to my scores. They should please do something about this '', he said.

Students who have submitted their IT/SIWES letters back to school (but have not done their oral presentations) and those who are yet to submit are to send their names, matric no, phone no, program to this e-mail address nounapapaitsiwes@yahoo.com

Deadline: Feb 28, 2017.

Problems generating Remita Code

POSSIBLE PROBLEMS:
1. He uses the wrong browser
2. He didn't type the value of the money properly
3. He didn't correct the phone number by putting the zero in the front

SUGGESTIONS:

Next time:
1. Use either google chrome browser or Mozilla firefox browser
2. Make sure you correct the phone number in your form by adding the 1st zero that was removed by default.
3. When typing the amount of money you want to pay, never include a comma. If you want to type it in, just type the value straight. e.g. to pay N25,000 into your portal, just type 25000 and nothing extra.. no space, no N (Naira) no Comma... just the figures alone!
with all of these in place, you are good to go.

EXTRA ADVICE!
when you want to check the status of your remita payment and you need to type in your remita code, pls do not include the hyphens (dash) just type in the code straight up. The NOUN site was not designed to include the codes, otherwise it would keep telling you that the payment is was successful.

Thanks

If you check your result and it is poor, that means that your exam score is poor

25marks was added

Scoring 15 or 20marks in your exams will not make your result to be good.
But scoring 25 or 30 will definitely make your result to be good

Thanks for your co-operation

NATIONAL Teachers’ Institute (NTI) and the National Open University of Nigeria (NOUN) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding to enable the institute affiliate its postgraduate and bachelor degree programmes with the university.

This was contained in a statement issued in Kaduna and signed by NTI’s director-general, Professor Garba Dahuwa Azare.

According to the statement, the affiliation will further boost teacher education and ensure that quality and international standard are maintained in teachers’ training across the board in Nigeria.

“The National Teachers’ Institute (NTI) and the National Open University of Nigeria (NOUN) have signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) on the affiliation of the institute’s PGDE and Bachelors Degree Programme to the NOUN in order to boost further teacher education in the country,” it stated.

To this end, Professor Azare said NTI had launched its new portal for registration of applicants and students and payment of fees.

“With the commencement of the new portal, a marked change has occurred in some aspects of registration and payment of fees for all the institute’s programmes.

“Part of the changes include: the abolition of the purchase ‘PINS’ and the use of a few number of banks for translation. With the new portal, students can pay through their ATM cards and through any commercial banks of their choice,” the statement added.

Just-in : NOUN Suspends Mass-communication programs, Accounting, Public Administration and many others

NB : Although we are yet to get a tangible explanation from authoritative sources, from our critical evaluation, we believe the suspension only affects prospective(incoming/new) students.

You know why we think so? It's because from the information,

1. ONLY PROSPECTIVE STUDENTS were mentioned, returning students weren't.

2. Those who do not wish to switch were asked to request for a refund of their application fees which is just N5000. If it really affects returning students, they won't just tell you to request for N5000 after all you have expended.

So, relax! There's no way you can drop out at this stage. Relax, we are making more investigations which would be reported here as soon as we are updated.

Update on suspended courses

WE just called to seek for clarifications from the Director, National Open University of Nigeria, Owerri Study Center, Dr Mrs Theresa Ettu.

Yes, the information about the suspension of some programmes are correct. But apparently, students are misinterpreting the release.

National University of Nigeria only suspended admissions on those programmes starting this semester. It affects those applying starting from this semester. Returning students are not affected as they will be allowed to complete their programmes.

But believe me, those suspended programmes will be restored in not long a time. You have to understand the management is working to clear grey areas with National Universities Commission.
It do happen; it is normal. Every University in this country do suffer the same fate from time to time.
So press no panic button yet..
Thank you!

IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR THOSE WHO CAN'T ACCESS THEIR PORTALS

Students who have not been able to access their portals are required to fill their data in an A4 paper, then photocopy and staple their ID cards beneath it as seen in the image below.

Next, go to your study center and submit the data in the admin office or send it via email to noumis@noun.edu.ng

## If u don't av IDcard go to ur Study centre like that

This is only for those who were not successful with their registration on the new site. As you know, since the advent of the new portal, students are required to click on *"Student Login"* and then when the page opens, you click on *"Register"* where you are expected to fill in your basic details. If such registration is completed, scroll down to the bottom of the page and see the status. If it says *"Successful"* then u know it really is successful and it is then u can use the *"Login"* button to log in to the site anytime u wish and do your normal activities.

If the registration was not successful, and it gives some kind of error messages, then you have to go to the study centre (perhaps the IT department) to resolve the issue. They will do it manually for you and you will be fine afterwards. If your registration was successful, there won't be any need for such. If your registration process was successful and yet you cannot login afterwards, and you tried "forgot password" link and it was still not successful, then you should just go ahead to your study centre for rectification.
For more info u can add me on WhatsApp or call 08185025045
