NOUN Postpones Nationwide Semester Exam Due to 30th May #Biafra Anniversary Day Lockdown
The National Open University of Nigeria (NOUN) has announced the postponement of its nationwide semester exams due to the anticipated lockdown on 30th May in commemoration of the #Biafra anniversary day. This decision comes as a result of concerns over the safety and security of students and staff during this period.
Reason for Postponement
The postponement of the semester exams was made in light of the planned activities by the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) to mark the anniversary of the declaration of Biafra. The IPOB has announced a lockdown across the region on 30th May, which is expected to disrupt normal activities, including the conduct of exams at NOUN.
Impact on Students and Staff
This decision has caused inconvenience to both students and staff of NOUN who were preparing for the semester exams. Many students had been studying diligently and revising for the exams, only to have their schedules disrupted by this sudden announcement.
Alternative Arrangements
In light of the postponement, NOUN is currently working on alternative arrangements to ensure that students are not unduly affected by the change in exam dates. The university is exploring options such as online exams or rescheduling the exams to a later date to accommodate the lockdown on 30th May.
Response from Students
Many students have expressed their disappointment and frustration over the postponement of the exams. Some students had made travel arrangements and other commitments based on the original exam schedule, and are now faced with having to adjust their plans at short notice.
Final Thoughts
The decision to postpone the semester exams at NOUN highlights the challenges faced by educational institutions in Nigeria in navigating political and social events that can impact the normal functioning of the academic calendar. As students and staff await further updates on the rescheduled exam dates, it is important for all stakeholders to remain flexible and adaptable in the face of unforeseen circumstances..
