NOUN conducts virtual matriculation for 15,000 students
The National Open University of Nigeria (NOUN) on Saturday conducted virtual matriculation for 15,000 students amidst continuous closure of schools in Nigeria in a bid to curtail the spread of COVID-19 in the country. The matriculation oath was administered on the students by the registrar of the university, Felix Edoka.
The Vice-Chancellor of NOUN, Abdalla Adamu, in his welcome address read via Zoom, said the students should see challenges as building blocks and think of proffering solutions to the problems of the modern world in their quest for knowledge.

The university spokesperson, Ibrahim Sheme, in a statement, quoted Adamu as saying that “One block at a time, and you will erect a mansion, you are in the best position to do this because your learning is powered by your personal desire to learn.
“Technology has become a commodity; NOUN has optimised its online facilitation exercise such that students can easily interact directly with their lecturers.”

The vice chancellor noted that the university had a Directorate of Learning Content Management System (CLMS) which could become a full-fledge online university in future.
Adamu, who is at the end of his five-year tenure as the vice-chancellor of NOUN, said that all the university’s programmes were accredited by the National Universities Commission, adding that the university’s programmes, quality assurance, and delivery mechanisms were more solid than that of many conventional universities in Nigeria.
