I lost PhD admission at ABU last year simply because my 1st and 2nd degrees were at NOUN - Shiku Cyprian

ATTENTION!!!

My dear Nounites, there is a saying that "When a frog in front fall in a pit, others at the back take caution". I'm a proud NOUN Alumna, first set of degree graduates (2012) and also first set of M.Sc. graduates (2015). But I must caution you so you wouldn't face the same problem some of us are facing. Those of you that have finished your first degree, don't enrol for your masters in NOUN, go to a conventional university, our system is full of discrimination. I lost PhD admission at ABU last year (even when I was sent admission letter online) simply because my 1st and 2nd degrees were at NOUN. This year too, I missed a lecturing job for the same reason. I had to enrol for another MSc this year in a conventional university in order to correct what I may call 'unjustifiable discrimination'. Yes! NOUN is a credible federal university, but because of its mode of learning, many universities and employers of labour are still having doubts about the intellectual acumen of its graduates. Proud to state that I have erased that notion in my own organization and encourage you people to do same. NOUN alumna are properly baked, but it will be better for you to do your 2nd degree in a conventional university to obviate this discrimination. A word is enough for a wise. Thanks 👏.
