Some Masters students who graduated from the University of Lagos several years ago have lamented their inability to obtain their certificates and transcripts since leaving the school.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to news reports, the affected students had finished from the institution\u2019s Department of Geoscience since 2013.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Speaking to Newsmen on Friday 18 November 2023, Bolatito Abegunde (not real name), one of the affected graduates, said she was part of the department\u2019s 2012\/2013 set that had been seeking their certificates and transcripts since they graduated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She said she had been prevented from pursuing a doctorate programme abroad on many occasions due to the unavailability of her transcript.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In her words, \u201cWe were in the 2012\/2013 set. I went to collect my transcript to apply for an international PhD scholarship, but the school of Post Graduate Studies (SPGS) directed me to my department,\u201d<\/em> Abegunde said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cAt the department, I learnt that some people had gotten their results, while some others had not gotten theirs. For us who had not gotten our results, they said they had not uploaded the results. Now, both the department and the SPGS have continued to keep us in the dark on when our transcripts would be out.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWe called Mrs Oluwakemi Adeogun, the coordinator of MSc in the department, but she told us that the PGS was supposed to have uploaded it as they had moved from manual to electronic documentation of results.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cSome of us had sent mails to the PGS since last year, but everybody has gotten tired because there has been no favourable response.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Another affected student, who choose to be anonymous, said he mailed the SPGS between 2020 and 2021, and was told to confirm the status of his certificate from the Academic Affairs Unit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n On January 20, 2021, the SPGS would write to him, saying: \u201cYour certificate is yet to be produced and handed over for distribution.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n When Alabi Soneye, Dean of SPGS, was contacted on the same matter, and on the same day, he gave an assurance that the issue would be resolved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In his words, \u201cThe candidates are among a few that their departments have not submitted their results properly online for the certificate office to produce their certificates even after we set up a special committee to facilitate that.\u201d<\/em> <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI thought Geoscience had resolved the cases and that the certificate office had treated them accordingly. \u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Source: fij.ng<\/p>\n\n\n\n #PressPayNg#EduSAVINGS#EduLOANS#EduSURE#INTERNSHIP#SCHOLARSHIP#EduHEALTHMAINTAINANCE#ENTERPRENUERSHIP#TERTIARY#EDUCATION#TUITION#FEES#UNIVERSITY#POLYTECHNIC#MONOTECHNIC#FELLOWSHIP#COLLEGEOFEDUCATION#HOLIDAYJOBS#SOFTSKILLSTRAINING<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Some Masters students who graduated from the University of Lagos several years ago have lamented their inability to obtain their<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"colormag_page_container_layout":"default_layout","colormag_page_sidebar_layout":"default_layout","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6398","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"yoast_head":"\n
