The Nigerian Senate will hold a public hearing on the status of the National Open University of Nigeria (NOUN) Law programme and other issues affecting the institution.
According to the Vice-Chancellor of the institution, Prof. Abdalla Adamu, who made the disclosure at a pre-convocation news briefing on Friday in Abuja, the public hearing would hold on Monday, January 16.
According to him, the bill to re-position the institution recently passed second reading.
There has been a lingering stand-off between NOUN and the Council for Legal Education (CLE) over non-admittance of NOUN’s law graduates Nigerian into Law School.
The VC said; “The Senate will on Jan. 16 hold a public hearing on NOUN law; in NOUN’s original Act, it was said that it will deliver through correspondence.
“That was why CLE our Law graduates cannot be admitted into Law school.
“That aspect has been expunged; it has passed second reading and once the Senate substitutes Correspondence clause with Open Distance Learning (ODL) clause, there will no longer be issues.
“It took a while for people to understand that NOUN operates full time as there is a difference between ODL and online learning,” he added. (NAN).
