The National Open University (NOUN) has lamented the discrimination of its graduates by the Nigerian Law School.
The Vice Chancellor of the University, Prof Vincent Ado Tenebe, made this known last weekend at the 5th Annual Convocation ceremony of the school, held in Abuja.
He said law graduates are also barred from attending the Nigerian Law School, making it impossible for them to qualify as practicing lawyers.
According to him, a search through the web shows that there are 59 open universities in countries throughout the world and there is no evidence that graduates of their open universities are treated differently from the graduates of their traditional regular universities.
Meanwhile, at the convocation, former President, Olusegun Obasanjo, bagged a Masters Degree in Christian Theology, just as 15 others graduated with First Class Honours, out of the 10, 653 total number of graduands.
Prof.Tenebe said that the former President will continue with his PhD, having been given admission to study MA/PhD.
The school gave special recognition to other outstanding graduands like Rear Admiral Orisha, over 70-year old man who made a First Class in mathematics and Udo Ukeme Effiong, who was the best graduating student with 4.71, being the highest score in First Class Grade.
