NCoS: Inmate bags twin degrees in custody

It was jubilation galore at the  presentation of degree certificates to an inmate of the Medium Security Custodial Centre Awka today 29th June 2021. The event which took place at the Custodial Centre saw the National Open University of Nigeria presenting twin certificates of Post Graduate Diploma(PGD) and Master in Science(MSc) certificates in Information Technology to one Mr. Jude Onwuzulike.

Recall that the NCoS and NOUN had been in partnership for over a decade now to bring university education to inmates of the Nigerian Correctional Service.  Jude,  a lifer, in Awka Custodial Centre upon admission, keyed into the opportunity provided, enrolled and embarked on vigorous study with a resolve not to be discouraged by incarceration  from actualizing his dream in life. His resolve and efforts were crowned with success that led to the ceremony today, where he was presented with the twin certificates.

Presenting the certificates at the Awka Medium Security Custodial Centre, the Registrar of the university, Mr. Felix Edoka, represented by the deputy Registrar academics, Mr. Oladipo Ajayi, extolled the resilience of the inmate and encouraged others to make judicious use of their time in custody, by emulating the spirit of the graduate inmate.
