Senate to hold public hearing on NOUN's law programme

The Vice-Chancellor of the National Open University of Nigeria, Prof. Abdalla Adamu, says the Senate will hold public hearing on the status of NOUN’s Law programme and other issues affecting the institution.

Adamu, who disclosed this at a pre-convocation news conference on Friday in Abuja, said the public hearing would hold on Monday, January 16.

He said that NOUN’s sixth convocation would be held on January 21 at the institution’s permanent site, Jabi, Abuja.

He disclosed that the bill to reposition the institution has recently passed second reading.

There has been a lingering stand-off between NOUN and the Council for Legal Education over the non-admittance of NOUN’s law graduates to Nigerian Law School.
