*NOUN, Nigerian Traffic Warden Service victims of injustice, says Intersociety*


The leadership of International Society for Civil Liberties & the Rule of Law (Intersociety) says it believes strongly that injustice and graft are the greatest threats facing the promotion, advancement, preservation, protection and enforcement of human rights in Nigeria or any part thereof.

“The effects of injustice and graft breed insecurity, which in turn, gives birth to general underdevelopment in Nigeria and one of the consequences of underdevelopment in Nigeria is the entrenched culture of born-before-computer among the country’s public policy makers and the managers of its educational management and regulatory institutions,” the society said in a statement issued by its  Board Chairman, Emeka Umeagbalasi, and Head, Civil Liberties & Rule of Law Programme, Barr Obianuju Joy Igboeli.

It stated that the culture of born-before-computer is understood as pride and egoistic mentality of Nigeria’s policy makers and implementers to stick to old brigade approach and refusal to move in tandem with current social realities such as global village culture or ICT revolution. On the other hand, the effects of graft or corruption on public office holders including public education regulators and managers in Nigeria are alarmingly riotous and mentally terminal; which is why it is immortally said that “corruption or graft kills entrepreneurship; destroys values; ruins economy and deadens mental faculties of their possessors. It is also said immortally that a corrupt judge is worst than a malevolent mad man running amok with a sharp dagger in a crowded market place and that when a professor is corrupt, he or she becomes a professorial slowpoke and moves from professorial reasoning and creativity to professorial quackery all the time.”

The statement further read that “The existing policy and graft oriented injustices against some public establishments in Nigeria is basketful. Two of the victims gravely affected are the National Open University of Nigeria or NOUN and the Nigerian Traffic Warden Service (TWS) under the age-long enslavement of the Nigeria Police Force (NPF). While NOUN and its law faculty is a victim of institutional graft and policy injustice powered by crudity and Hobbesian jurisprudence; the TWS is a victim of policing tyranny and enslavement.

“For the records, it recalled, NOUN is one of the existing federal universities in Nigeria, established by the National Assembly in 1983 through an Act. Originally established as a correspondence or part-time university and modelled after the UK Open University (one of the ten best universities in the world; also the university with largest student population in the world); NOUN, likewise the UK Open University, was resuscitated and upgraded, to offer a mixture of fulltime and distance learning programmes using advanced ICT and well established electronic and manual libraries. NOUN’s programmes or courses or degrees are approved and regularly supervised by the National Universities Commission (NUC).

“NOUN was resuscitated in 2004 by the government of former President Olusegun Obasanjo to provide for close and distance learning education for all Nigerians particularly those in working class category. It is a major beneficiary of ICT powered mixture of face-to-face (student-teacher or facilitator) tertiary education and distance learning education programmes. NOUN also uses dual examination methods of POP or Pen and Paper and e-exams or NOUN’s ICT powered and controlled computer examination. The use of POP is to expose and empower its students on manual writing skills and techniques while its e-exams are to develop its students in the use and knowledge of computer and its applications. The e-exams are mandatory for its 100-200 Level students while its POP is mandatory for its 300-400-500 Level students.

“There is uniformed pre exams quiz called TMAs or tutor marked assignments, which constitute 30 per cent of the total marks. The TMAs are purely computer and internet based done off classroom and composed of 80 objective questions per course material under TMA1, TMA2, TMA3 and TMA4; meaning that if a student registers for eight courses in a semester exam, he or she must attempt a total of 640 objective questions within a stipulated time frame and answers to TMAs are automatically or electronically affixed and graded; likewise the e-exams. In e-exams, students are automatically graded once they are done with 150 questions and click on the computer button: submit.The duration for the e-exams is strictly timed and regulated by computers under NOUN exams invigilators. This means that if a student is lazy and fails to study hard to be able to read and comprehend all his or her course materials cover to cover, he or she has automatically failed his or her exams and earned a license to a second missionary journey. Many tertiary institutions in Nigeria have borrowed this exams method from NOUN till date.

“NOUN also has flexibility policy under its work and learnslogan. This has nothing to do with part-time; rather it offers the students opportunities to combine their work with education at NOUN at their own pace. It further means that a student of NOUN doing a four- year programme can graduate at the completion of his or her course-loads and project in four years after mandatorily passing all the courses. A post graduate student can complete his or her study in one year, yet another can spend three years or more. Another student running a four-year programme can as well graduate in seven years pending when his or her course-loads are completed and mandatorily passed. Whether a student of NOUN spends seven years or more in a four-year programme, he or she must pay all compulsory fees every semester. Every kobo paid at NOUN is electronically captured and students can save money into their portals and use it for other semesters. NOUN certificates are issued at source at the convocation arenas provided the recipient’s academic records including all his or her program courses and project (clearance) are certified by the University.

“Course materials of NOUN are strictly written by NOUN with simplest grammars so as to enable distance students to read, understand, study and comprehend. All the examinable courses of NOUN are manually and electronically accessible. Its electronic or soft copies are down-loadable from NOUN’s e-portal. The University has the best e-library in Nigeria and borrows a lot from researches of other Open Universities such as the National Open University of UK or the UK Open University. It is still on record that the UK Open University has the largest university-student population in the world with over 180,000 and it is also one of the world’s top universities in the world universities ranking. There are at least 60 accredited Open Universities around the world including Open Universities of Hong Kong, Australia, China, Ghana, Israel, South Korea, Taiwan, South Africa, Netherlands, Spain, Sudan, Libya, Tanzania, New Zealand, Sri Lanka and Philippines.

“Further, at NOUN, zero room is provided for graft and immorality such as sorting, inflation of course-marks, exams cheating or malpractice, cultism, vindictiveness, sexual commodity and harassment and malicious degrading and failing of students by lecturers or facilitators. A student at NOUN is virtually on his or her own as well as architect of his or her own success or failure. NOUN students are strictly advised and tutored on the type of environment conducive to study and encouraged to read and study after midnight and under other noise-free environments. Computer, use of English and study skills courses are compulsory for all undergraduate and post graduate students of NOUN.

“NOUN does not offer courses, not accredited by the NUC or run programmes that are not approved by same. The least facilitator or lecturer at NOUN is a master’s degree holder and NOUN facilitators (lecturers) manning their tutorial classes in its 37 Study Centers across Nigeria are hired from leading conventional universities and thoroughly blended on the methodologies of the University. Two most striking things about NOUN are zero culture of graft and meritorious academic pursuit and environment.

“An undergraduate student of Criminology & Security Studies at NOUN, for instance, must cover and pass at least 53-55 courses including his or her project before he can be graduated. To graduate with LLB degree at NOUN from its Faculty of Law, a student must study, complete and pass at least 65 courses in addition to his or her project. A master’s degree student of Peace & Conflict Studies at NOUN, for instance, must pass at least 15 courses excluding thesis before he or she can be graduated.

“But in conventional universities in Nigeria, only 60 courses or less are required to become a graduate of law, while only six of them are required to become a holder of Master of Laws in areas such as International Human Rights, Arbitration & Family Law.  At NOUN, to pass course material to C, B or A grade, a student must read and study the course material cover to cover for at least three times: general reading, TMA reading and revision for exams. This means that a student of NOUN must have read or covered at least 80 per cent of each of his or her course material before the exams. It is suicidal to register and take an unread course material at NOUN exams.

“But in conventional universities, course materials are highly unregulated and exposed to quackery and serial extortion. Students with five carry-overs at conventional universities, for instance, can easily be upgraded and credited with better or best grades as case may be provided they can trade off enough cash or sex commodity for such crooked grades. At NOUN, any student with such carry-overs is instantly in hot soup and left with two options of either dropping out of NOUN or retaking the entire exams. NOUN course materials must be read and understood by students page to page to be able to write and pass them in the exams as well as to do and pass their attached Tutor Marked Assignments (TMAs) and impart the knowledge and exposure originally intended.

“But at conventional universities, the ability of students to patronise (buy) their lecturers’ junks or handouts or plagiarised notes, automatically earns them 25 per cent of the total marks for each of the exam courses. Expo is also common in conventional universities in Nigeria whereby students are told areas to concentrate in their course materials for their exams. As a result, the students’ ability to read and study their course materials widely or cover to cover is roundly diminished or lost. The end-result is production of half-baked graduates flooding the streets of Nigeria and its unemployment sector.”

I won't be the only one to benefit from it nor clear my doubts
So you can drop it here for all.. Edit and clean all vital informations if you wish..!

I can't post somebody's document on the Internet + I don't need to post anything to prove anything. remain in ur darkness. if u want to come out of Ur darkness u can use d Internet or better still, go to the school nd ask there. good night.

selfmadeOLX:
Now we're having a conversation
Lol
Good to know that
But you're still skipping the main part

NOUN was founded in 1983 and got accepted by NYSC about/more than year ago
Has any NOUN student/graduate boast of getting an exemption/Exclusion letter from NYSC..?
At least let someone be a living testimony.. Not just laying your beliefs on hopes..!

drop Ur whatsapp number let me send u images of exemption certificates of family nd friends most of them are working in different government parastatals with NOUN degrees

selfmadeOLX:
You still haven't answered the question therefore haven't made any sense..! Lol

wat was the question

selfmadeOLX:
Well I do bro
Without that, how do I further if my career requires me to acquire higher degrees..?
Not everyone has the luxury of traveling and schooling overseas you know

with a BSc in Noun + Ur NYSC Exemption certificate u re eligible to apply for higher degrees in any University in nigeria

selfmadeOLX:
Wrong Sir
An Exclusion letter is issued by NYSC to a graduate on a part-time programme, Sandwich, Distant learning, NOUN..
Exemption certificate in most cases is issued to a graduate on a full time regular programme, above 30 years of age or with disabilities

As much as these two certificates are concerned, there is no discrimination whatsoever neither does it pose a threat to the labor market in securing a job but it does pose a real threat to promoting ones career

My worry still remains.. I haven't seen any NOUN student/graduate mobilized yet for NYSC
Have you seen..? Please share..!

I read through all Ur posts nd all I see is a misguided person, plz show me a place in the nigerian Constitution where it is written that NYSC Is an educational qualification + NYSC was established without having noun in mind cus noun wasn't in existence wen NYSC Was established. after Ur 1year of NYSC of suffer head u will still end up in d labour market.

Emanus:
I am not bother, eh cos you will result to prayer and even babalawo or Dibias house for washing your face before going to Lagos headquarters or Abuja . I will advise you to go with absorbent towel to hold your tears. Lols

Lolz I understand how u feel bro but u should also understand that NOUN is still facing some challenges. it's not easy to coordinate so many students like that. conventional schools have their own challenges but we can't totally condemn them because of that. the school authorities are aware of this problem nd dey re working hard to make the school okay. NOUN is still growing it's still passing through difficult times now. NOUN wasn't as good as it is today few years ago but today we can say the school is better. just don't condemn the school plz. don't discourage others.

Emanus:
Noun has been awarded the best school for missing results and missing scripts. Nigerian open your eyes. It is easy to get admission and you may not be able to get the certificate without exorbitant fees.

I did pgde with 179k and still have 3 missing results. Nawa ooooo. I would have committed suicide if I have done my university programme with them.

Guys there are lots of Universities in Nigeria now avoid noun certificates, is bombing raids. Lots of grammatical and spelling error. Noun will finished you.


I pity fresh school leavers who are forming to busy to get universities in Nigeria. People wey carry OAU, U.I, Futy, FUTA etc are not getting jobs. You are now wasting your money on TMAs, compulsory fees (40,000), course fees and examination fees, with semester fees. This is charm. NOUN is charming. ICT fee, imagine NOUN cannot provide good customer services for highly paying student, you can send a query for your case to be treat, officers of noun are biased. I am not happy doing PGDE with NOUN
Decide wisely and get Polytechnic or NCE which can fetch you job later in life.

Nigeria is not prepared for online education

to whom brain is given sense is expected. u re not d only student of NOUN so why must it be Ur result dat is missing, plz go nd pray about Ur problems nd stop saying trash here plz. nobody forced u to come to NOUN.

Emanus:
Oyo is your case in NOUN, if you don't have money don't even pay, cos you will regret it. I will advise you not to pay compulsory fee as it is not refundable should incase you change your mind about not paying for other fees. Go to conventional University, you can even pay first and foremost and finish up your programme before paying for the remaining balance not in Noun.

I will welcome you to missing script and results school.

Oga just because that happened to u doesn't mean it would happen to him too, every school has its challenges even the conventional schools have cases of missing scripts. stop discouraging others because of Ur misfortune. I would advice u to look for solution to Ur problem and stop saying trash here. do u know the population of NOUN students nd do u think it's easy to coordinate their results? instead of u to commend their effort u re here saying.......... dey know about problems of missing scripts nd dey doing their best to make sure such issues would not happen again.
