It is time for the relevant authorities in
charge of academic matters in Nigeria to
turn to the National Open University of
Nigeria and ensure that the insupportable
exploitation currently being executed at
that institution with cynical disregard be
brought to an immediate halt! It is no
longer news to knowledgeable people that
the National Open University of Nigeria
has turned itself into a money-draining
agency.
That, in itself, is stale news to those who
are conversant with the system. But it is
inconceivable to believe that a people can
be pushed to this humiliating extent and
still decide to maintain grinning visages in
the face of such alien oppression! It is
this passive role championed by the
University’s students themselves that I
have struggled so hard to decipher.
Although I have been very uncomfortable
with the entire situation, I deliberately
kept mum all along; I had done so hoping
that this epidemic would die a natural
death. But now, with its rapid growth,
developing deep roots into our system like
a vicious virus, I feel it is time to blow
the whistle.
Firstly, it is not clear why the University
charges a COMPULSORY registration fee
for research project for final-year
students.
Last semester (2014/15 academic
session), this fee was charged at N10,000.
Now, the University has, for unknown
reasons, and without any official notice to
its students, decided to increase this fee
to the sum of N15,000. I am unable to
figure out the rationale for which
students should pay the University for a
research that will be carried out by the
students themselves.
The conclusion of my rumination over this
matter is that the act is completely
indefensible and a deliberate ploy to get
money off students.
Secondly, depending on the course,
students are sent out every semester for
Industrial Training.
The University also charges a
COMPULSORY registration fee for this,
and an additional N1,000 which must be
paid separately into a Stanbic IBTC Bank
account! Last semester, as in the
academic session stated above, this fee
was N3,000. At the moment, the
University has catapulted it to N10,000!
Again, without any viable reason and
without any prior notification.
Thirdly, it is not clear why the University
should charge a fee for what it termed
‘Result Verification’. This fee is payable
every year and it is charged at N5,000.
Despite this fee being paid, students who
have attempted to verify the
authenticity of the controversial results
awarded to them have largely collided on
a rock. So, if results are not verifiable,
how then can the National Open University
of Nigeria justify the receipt of this
money from students?
Fourthly, the University gets paid for
course materials but it never provides
these materials. Prices for each material
depend on the credit units of the course.
At the moment, a two credit unit course
material is N2,000, however slim the
material may be, whilst a three credit
unit course is charged at N2,500.
Payment for these materials is also
COMPULSORY. Now, supposing a student
runs ten courses in a single semester, the
minimum payable amount for course
materials alone stands at N20,000. This
fee does not include fees for examination
registration.
Students must pay the sum of N1,000 per
course if they are to participate in any
semester examination. This, for a student
running ten courses, brings the fee to
N30,000 for a single semester! And do
note that this analysis does not include
compulsory fee, which maybe N28,000 or
N13,000, depending on the semester.
After receiving payment for course
materials from students across Study
Centres nationwide, the University may
issue one, two, or zero course materials
out of a possible ten as illustrated above.
Thereupon, the University advises
students, without compunction, to get
these materials in whatever way they
deem fit.
At this point, students are solely on their
own to hunt for additional money in order
to re-purchase these materials elsewhere.
The University is unconcerned about what
becomes of students who are unable to
get materials afterwards. Such is the
immensity of the insensitivity being
inflicted on a people whose only offence is
their decision to seek knowledge.
It is instructive to state here in plain
terms that this article is not aimed at
questioning the steady increase of these
illegal fees, its aim is to challenge their
existence and why they are being imposed
on students. I blame this fully-fledged
malady on the recreant attitude of the
students, prime victims of this scheme.
Their silence is not digestible to me. But
it does represent the actions of a people
who have been brought to total
subjugation by mighty forces.
It is to continue with the ongoing scheme
that the National Open University of
Nigeria has, with unusual vigor, negated
the several attempts made by some
knowledgeable students to form a Student
Union.
I must warn the authorities of the
National Open University of Nigeria to
quickly remember that their tenacious
disapproval of a Student Union is illegal
and a violation of section 40 of the
Constitution of the Federal Republic of
Nigeria under ‘right to peaceful assembly
and association’ which clearly states:
‘Every person shall be entitled to
assemble freely and associate with other
persons, and in particular he may form or
belong to any political party, trade union
or any other association for the
protection of his interests.’
Consequently, I would like to invite
relevant authorities to conduct a
comprehensive review of the illicit
activities of the National Open University
of Nigeria.
Those running the University must
understand that the objective for setting
up the institution was to disseminate
knowledge, not as a ploy to take
advantage of a student community mainly
dominated by those at the lowest level of
our economic ladder. That will not be
acceptable going forward! Elias Ozikpu Writer and activist |

Applicants are to bring the following to the Aptitude Test Centres. a. Parent/Guardian Consent Form. b.Local Government Attestation Form. c.Acknowledgment Form. d. Photocopies of Certificates including NYSC Discharge Certificate. I saw this from the site. does it mean we are not coming with the guarantor and police attestation form to the venue? Which one is the acknowledgement form? anybody with useful info? so that one will not stress himself going to sign the DPO and guarantor form. doing that when you are shortlisted for screening will make more sense. |
