…To clear backlog of 14,307 certificates

The University of Abuja has said the certificates of 14,307 persons who graduated from various programmes being run in the university from 1994 till date, was ready for collection.

Vice-Chancellor of the university, Prof Abdul-Rasheed Na’Allah disclosed this on Wednesday at the main campus of the university in Abuja.

He said never again would the university record a backlog of graduates’ certificates.

While appealing to the affected graduates who for one reason or the other were unable to collect their certificates over the years, urged them to endeavour to make the sacrifices of coming from far or near to obtain their certificates.

He said: “This university has finished producing, signing and ready for collection, certificate of all those who have graduated from this university from 1994 up to 2019.

“If you have not collected your results please come to this university your certificates are ready. Forever and ever this will never happen again in this university that people graduate and certificates are not given. This is a leading university and only the best happens in UNIABUJA .”

The VC said the university has developed an effective and trustworthy virtual teaching system for its students to ensure the process of teaching and learning was not disrupted presently and in the future.

It said more than 5,000 students are already receiving lectures from adjunct staff following the strike embarked upon by the Academic Staff Union of Universities since March this year.

The VC noted that the COVID-19 pandemic made the university to make use of its in-house skills and resources to develop the virtual classroom system.

“We have conducted several pilot studies from April/May this year and I am happy to announce that the UNIABUJA virtual classroom system has piloted several courses taught mainly by our adjunct lecturers because we know that our respected academic staff are on strike and are having continued engagements with the federal government.

“Close to 5,000 students of our university are taking courses through our university of Abuja virtual classroom system and we are very proud of that.

“What it means is that if there is a need and if there is any reason that the entire students of this university have to go home or do anything, this university is ready and fully prepared to conduct all its courses virtually with everything that it takes,” the VC said.

He added that a policy was being developed to ensure all academic staff teaches at least one or two courses virtually, once the strike was called off and normalcy returns to the university.

“We are in an electronic age and the more we run away from electronic technology, the closer we come to it, this is the experience the Coronavirus has taught us. UNIABUJA virtual classroom system is strong, capable, efficient, effective and its interactive,” he added.
