The Vice-Chancellor of the National Open University of Nigeria (NOUN), Professor Olufemi Peters, has implored new students to uphold the values of academic integrity, hard work, and excellence as they undertake their academic activities with the institution.
Peters spoke on Wednesday in Abuja at the university’s 28th matriculation ceremony, where 25,342 students matriculated across nine faculties.
Of the figure, 18,698 were admitted for various undergraduate degree programmes and 6,564 for postgraduate programmes, including doctoral students.
In his speech, Peters urged the freshers to build positive networks and healthy relationships while shunning vices that would distract them from their academic pursuits.
