Alleged refusal to release results of 2014/2015 students who graduated from National Open University of Nigeria, NOUN, Asaba study centre, Delta State on Monday July 24 sparked off protest. 

The protesters, many of who are Masters and Post Graduate Diploma graduates, alleged that since 2014/2015 they completed their programmes including project works and submitted to the school, their results/certificates were yet to be released, adding their efforts to know why the delay in releasing their results has met a brick wall. 

The protesters with their placards and inscription,  “Give Us Our Results”, “Release Our Certificates”, “We Are Tired of Excuses”, “NOUN Do Something For Our Certificates”, they match in various streets of Asaba, including the gate of NOUN, Asaba study centre where officials of NOUN assured them of speedy attention to their protest. 

Leader of the protesting NOUN graduates, who gave his name as John, spoke to Our Delta North Correspondent, alleging that the authorities of NOUN has not giving them cogent reason why their results/ certificates are being withheld.

According to him, “Officials of NOUN, Asaba study centre had been telling us stories that Senate had not approve the results since 2014/2015, we cannot present our certificates, rather than getting excuses from the officials, we are tired, we need our results, or we shall embarked on another protest soon”.
