About 20 graduands (2015/2016 academic
session) of the University of Jos (UNIJOS) from the Faculty of Law, 2015/2016
session have been mistakenly awarded First Class degrees by the management of
the university.

It was gathered that the error was discovered
after the management asked the graduands to log on to the convocation ceremony
web portal to confirm their details ahead of the convocation ceremony scheduled
to hold on June 23rd, 2018. Some of the graduands from the Faculty of Law
logged on to the portal only to discover that they have been awarded a higher
class of degree.
Many of the affected graduands who commented
on the issue stated that they were surprised to see such an error as everyone
that graduated in 2015/2016 academic session already know the grade they
graduated with and it was only one student named Olusegun Pelumi Adewunmi that
emerged with First Class.
When contacted over the issue, the Dean of
the Faculty of Law, Clement Dakkas
described it as “strange.”
“Matters of this nature are addressed by the
Registrar, but my recollection is that you know in the entire history of the
university, we have produced only three First Class in Law. The first in 1980,
the second in 1990 – and incidentally I was the second in 1990 – and then one
young man, I think, a year ago.
“So to have more than one clearly there must
be an error somewhere.” He said.
Also, Ishaya Tanko, a professor and the
university’s Director of ICT, said he was unaware of the development.
“What I’m going to do is I’m going to report
now, I’ll take that up and get the appropriate authorities to confirm.”
