I love criticism too. It brings out the best in people who look at it positively.
I also love it when people appreciate the difference between mere "postulations" and active "criticism". It saves everyone the stress of unnecessary arguments 😔

I am sure that lady who testified in one church like this who claimed to be a law graduate from NOUN is the cause of this. Why run unaccredited courses I. The first place? It's better for the school to transfer the students to other universities running accredited and recognized law to admit these the affected students or refund their monies, end of story

She is not the cause. NOUN issued a memo early 2023 that law programme will be closed by end of 2023

don't mind the school, I will advice the students should sue them and get back all the money they've spent .

You can get back list money but you cant recover lost time. They should allow them to graduate

The ones that graduated since have not been allowed to go to law school. I heard law school is refusing to admit them because the quality of their learning at NOUN is below the conventional universities law graduate.
..at least the school would had known about it...then why did they introduce the law program to the school..did they get an approval from NUC to run a law program in the school NOUN?

my elder brother finished at CRESCENT.
failed law school twice and finally gave up.
He later blamed the school he graduated from.
How many times can one sit for the exams?
As many times as possible. But it gets to that point where The Council of Legal Education will advise you to stay away for some years before trying again! Lol

It has nothing to do with her. It was accreditation issue

It was also gathered that the university intends not to take in new law students in order to seek fresh accreditation for the law programme

Long over due. Law is not a course to study remotely.

In Nigeria, NOUN is unmatched in upholding academic standards and discipline. There are no opportunities for bribing lecturers or cheating, unlike other universities where grades can be bought by warming a lecturers bed or fueling his car

Believe Sahara reporters at your own risk!

They will skip the build up and reasons but draw their own conclusion from "Nigeria is a bad country !

Don't be surprised there has been a notice and alternative sent to the student by the school council but the evil eye Sahara reporters will not see that

You are correct. A notice was sent earlier 2023 that the programme will be finally closed. All law students were given till the end of 2023 to finish up.

Fkj202004:
From 2015 to 2023 is 8 years, all the law students are supposed to have graduated but due to the unserious nature of some students, they didn't graduate for over 8 years for a programme of 5 years.

Its almost similar to someone studying ACCA knowing he had 10 years to complete the 14 papers and if not completed in 10 years he would lose all the papers he had passed even if he had passed 13 papers and start from ground zero all again.

I know a bros in London who had earlier been time barred in the ICAEW exams before he switched to ACCA and bros was struggling to pass all 14 ACCA papers and nearing the 10 year limit he went to Naija for some spiritual fortification to enable him pass the final papers before the 10year limit all to no avail.

Bros just left the course and went back to working as an Accountant and he landed a top job due to his prior accounting experience in an ICAEW practice. He possibly would have restarted the ACCA exams and I hope he has passed all by now or maybe he would have switched to the CIPFA exams since his new job then was in the public sector.

Law is a professional course that can't be handled by NOUN. I have been around law students back then in university, it takes consistent attendance to lectures, research, mock trials etc to grapple with and graduate. You can't do law through distance learning that NOUN offers, it is a course that requires your attention 2-4-7, NOUN which offers once a week lecture to undergrads is not fitted for it. The conventional university is best for law.
Open University UK produces some of the best lawyers in the UK.You need to update yourself bro

Quite easy to say this.
The last Law Undergraduate Student was admitted before 2017, probably 2015 was the last time. They stopped admitting new students and gave the time between the and now for those in the program.me to round up. Maybe the time given wasn't enough though. While it is painful to o begin and not finish, it wasn't like NOUN didn't try to make sure all that are willing to finish up did finish up the programme.

3m to study Law in NOUN 😂 ... Kai... This is a very big fat lie. Without CO, it is less than 400k because they are old students who didn't have to pay the new fees in NOUN.
The budget with books is above 3Million.You are only talking about school fees which is above 600k for the five years.Photocopying and Data alone is more than 300k

Let me respond to your lies:
1)NOUN currently has the highest quota in the Nigerian Law School and two batches are currently undergoing their vocational course in the Nigerian Law School as I write this;
2)The Council of Legal Education(CLE)and the Body of Benchers(BOB),drawn from men and women of the highest distinction in the legal profession in Nigeria,have realised that some Nigerians are making unfounded allegations against NOUN,and the two bodies have said it openly that NOUN law graduates are the best they have trained,well-conducted,mature, very serious-minded, purpose-driven and ambitious,and they found them worthy in learning and in character;
3)Close to 80% of NOUN law graduates have first degrees in other professional courses: Medicine,Political Science,Pharmacy,Philosophy,English and Lit,Education,Accounting,Business,Pub. Admin.,Engineering,Banking,etc;close to 11% have Masters and about 0.0005% have PhDs.
4)The Council of Legal Education and the Body of Benchers attested and said it with their own mouths that they had never come across a set of very sound,well-behaved law people like these sets of NOUN law graduates since they have been training in the 1960s.Because of this,they said they will recommend to the FG the US model of training lawyers which is that you need to get a degree in another area before you come to study law;
5)NOUN students attend classes in mostly air-conditioned rooms and augmented by the most state-of-the art virtual classrooms across the country; and
6)You cannot bribe anybody in NOUN,from admissions process,tests and exams,and release of results,you don’t know who would mark your papers.Port Harcourt exams scripts are taken to Abuja;Abuja exams scripts are taken to Lagos;Lagos exam scripts are taken to Kaduna;Kaduna scripts are taken to Enugu and so forth.So how would you bribe somebody you don’t know?
Kindly stop all the lies!

Course materials or other books? Stop inflating the cost. No way it will be up to even 1 million. Data? Hope you are a student or u finished the Programme cos I know what I am saying and I know the price u gave is inflated.
A course materials printing used to be less than 2k. How many courses do they offer in the programme? Even at 5k each for 100 courses, it is only 500k.
The e-facilitation, do you know when it started? What other things are they using data for?

Padded budget. You are a true Nigerian. Yes, they lostbutyyou don't have to pad the truth before people see reasons with you.
Do you know the year the last students got admitted into the Law Programme? Do you know how many years between then and now that they stopped the Programme? Are u aware of countless memos they have sent in respect of this before this time? Where were the students to protest when they set the deadline even before last year?
Trust me, I know much of what I am saying. Maybe you should try and see the threads I am most active in.
