NOUN Expands Scope , Grants 100 % Waiver To Prison Inmates

The National Open University of Nigeria has granted a 100 per cent waiver to prison inmates who wish to improve their education across the country.

The decision was in keeping with the institution’s mandate of making education accessible to the less privileged in the society.

As part of efforts to strengthen international collaborations, the institution has also introduced the concept of ‘Diaspora NOUN’ to enable Nigerians living and working in Anglophone countries to have access to education at their convenience and affordable rates.

Ghana, Liberia and Sierra Leone are some of the countries to be considered for this unique initiative.
