Best Reasons Why NOUN still Stands When Other Falls!

You Might be astonished but to be frank, National Open University of Nigeria (NOUN) has stood for the past years when other schools are all falling. One thing is that they do have a Study Center Standard.

 Behind every strong foundation of a successful icon in the society, there must be a secret. It is either they did not exist or they did not rise but when they fall, there have every possible chance to stand but NOUN has never fall.

 Today, we would be taking look at the reason why National Open University of Nigeria (NOUN) is still waxing very strong even after when different schools have came, fought and still yet, there could not meet the standard.


Best Reasons Why National Open University of Nigeria (NOUN) Will NEVER FALL!


*. Scholarships

In May 2014, Ini Edo, one of the stars in the Nigerian movie industry, Nollywood made headlines when she was offered a scholarship to study Law at the National Open University. More Nollywood actresses and actors including Desmond Elliot have also been offered scholarships. Chioma Chukwuka-Akpotha, Francis Duru, Doris Simeon and Sani Danja were announced as ambassadors for the National Open University of Nigeria (NOUN).

All 4 were presented by the Vice Chancellor Prof. Vincent A. Tenebe, with scholarships to study their courses of choice. You can see that NOUN will never fall as they keep introducing scholarships to people out there.

*. Immunity to Strikes

Another reason is the Act which established the University prohibiting any form of union either within staffs or students. This has made the NOUN to be unaffected by strikes such as the ASSU strikes (which lasted for eight months) in Nigeria which ultimately extends students course duration in school unnecessarily. NOUN students have always and will continue to be immune to any form of strike.

*. Requirements

A diverse range of students from all walks of life are attracted to the National Open University of Nigeria just like other prominent Open Universities such as the Open University of United Kingdom (OU); for most courses there are no stringent entry requirements other than the ability to study at an appropriate level such as the West African Examination, and other National Diplomas to qualify for a Direct entry admission.

Though most postgraduate courses require evidence of previous study and/or equivalent life experience. This fundamental open admissions policy makes undergraduate university study accessible to all.
