He noted that the total includes 51 inmates—41 undergraduates and 10 postgraduates—from various correctional centres who have met their academic requirements. The convocation is set for this weekend.

Peters provided a breakdown: 16,964 undergraduates, 6,413 postgraduates, and 40 PhD students will graduate. Among undergraduates, 16 will earn First Class degrees, 1,417 will receive Second Class Upper, 5,518 Second Class Lower, 2,761 Third Class, and 158 Pass degrees. For Nursing Science, 1,117 students will graduate, with 12 achieving Distinction, 490 earning Credit, and 615 receiving Pass degrees.

The Vice-Chancellor praised the graduates’ determination. “I congratulate the graduating students for their doggedness, resilience, and commitment to their academic and non-academic responsibilities that culminated in their graduation at the 14th convocation ceremony,” he said.

Not true.

The truth is: Nigerians are some of the most self-hating people on earth, even though they are great people. Everyone in the world, except Nigerians, love and admire Nigerians.

Go South Africa and identify openly as Nigerians whether dem no go lynch you—much to my dislike for those xenophobic fools though.

We get bad doings small, let's be honest. If I was an American and one nonentity from Nigeria scam my mama or papa I go hate am.

Ordinary those idiots who sold fake phones for me at phone village olugbede Lagos state, I hate them with passion. Or the fooools who sold fake vehicle engine to my dad in 2014/15 at Ladipo. I hate with passion.

You don't have sense.
NOUN remains the only credible university in Nigeria where students don't cut corners.
