The聽Ag director of the centre, Mr. Olumide Aladuge, who led a team of staff,聽stated聽the聽purpose of their聽visit and聽explained聽the activities of NOUN to their host.
Aladuge,聽who explained the benefits聽of enrolling into NOUN, its vision, credibility and the areas of competitive advantages over conventional institutions, reaffirmed the mandate of the institution in taking education to the door-steps of Nigerians.
He added that聽the university聽is a federal government-approved institution and is at per with any other university in the country, adding that all its programmes have duly聽been聽accredited by the National聽Universities Commission (NUC) and operates its programmes in full time basis.
The director and his team,聽later,聽held an interactive session with the teachers and staff of the school where they explained the criteria for securing admission into the institution, courses, admission processes, mode of payment, registration, mode of instructional delivery and on-line facilitation, among others
He also reiterated the advantages of NOUN in terms of flexibility,聽saying that they don鈥檛 have to leave their various locations to come to the class since the mode of operation of the institution affords聽them the opportunity to study from where they are at their own pace and time.
