NOUN Law Graduates Seek House of Reps Help for Mobilisation

Approximately 5,000 law graduates from the National Open University of Nigeria (NOUN) have appealed to the House of Representatives for intervention concerning their inability to proceed to the Nigerian Law School. This appeal was made before the House Committee on Public Petitions, where the graduates expressed their concerns over the rejection of their names for mobilisation.

Dr. Adeniyi Oladele, a representative of the graduates, stated that after graduation, they approached NOUN to have their names submitted for mobilisation but were informed that their list had been rejected. He noted that previous graduates from NOUN had been successfully mobilised to the Nigerian Law School, completed their training, passed the required examinations, and were called to the Nigerian Bar.

The graduates expressed frustration over the lack of communication regarding the reasons for their rejection. Professor Shio Usman Ademo, representing NOUN, confirmed receipt of the petition and stated that the university had submitted its response.

The committee has requested the list of affected students for further consideration.
