UNIJOS WILL REMOVE THE GRADUATES’ CERTIFICATES – VC

Even after their credentials were issued, the University of Jos (UNIJOS) in Plateau State threatened to revoke those of its alumni who were discovered to have poor moral character.

The revelation was made by Prof. Tanko Ishaya, the university’s vice-chancellor, at the oath-taking and matriculation ceremony for incoming undergraduate students.

According to Ishaya, the most recent advancement was made to uphold the university’s long-standing stellar reputation and high standards.

The vice-chancellor declared that the institution will not permit its former students or staff to tarnish its reputation by engaging in inappropriate behavior.

Only 8,469 applicants—including three foreign applicants—were accepted into universities out of 57,333 total, according to Professor Tanko.

He claimed that despite the huge volume of applications brought about by the combination of two candidate pools, the selection procedure was extremely open and honest.

In addition, he cautioned the students against engaging in cults, secret societies, and other social vices that would ruin their academic prospects and to take their studies seriously.

In the meantime, a number of graduate and undergraduate legal students have beseeched the administration of Baze University, which is owned by Yusuf Datti Baba-Ahmed, regarding the institution’s prohibition on legal admissions.

Students and alumni are pleading with the school administration to lift the suspension right away.

Remember that BAZE University Abuja was recently barred by the Council of Legal Education for persistently exceeding the authorized quota and enrolling more than 750 students to its law faculty since 2017. This referred to the 50 students every academic session that the Datti Baba-Ahmed University is given, which is typically filled in 15 years.

The university’s decision to be banned alarmed the students, who spoke to NAN about how it would affect the university’s legal school going forward.
