National Open University graduates now qualified for Law School, NYSC

Students who graduate from the National Open University of Nigeria are now eligible to go to Law school and one year compulsory National Youth Service Corps observed by graduates.

The senate, at its sitting today, Thursday, amended the National Open University of Nigeria Act which had previously hindered graduates of the university from attending the Nigerian Law school and observing the one-year compulsory NYSC.

The senate resolution was a culmination of the efforts of the senate committee on tertiary institutions and Tetfund, chaired by Jubril Barau, senator representing Kano north constituency.

Before now, there had been agitations among NOUN students for their inclusion in the NYSC and one year Nigerian Law School program.
