By Correspondent

The National Open University of Nigeria (NOUN) has announced plans to grant a 100 percent waiver to prison inmates desiring education across the country.Prof Abdalla Uba Adamu, the Vice-Chancellor of the university disclosed this in Abuja while hosting the Vice Chancellor of the Nigerian Turkish Nile University, Prof Huseyin Sert; adding that the waiver, which before now was pegged at 50 percent, would enable the inmates have unfettered access to quality education and also encourage others to take advantage of this initiative to acquire education.The VC opined that there is no meaningful social support system for inmates to acquire education in the country.“Having suffered abandonment by relatives, emotional and physical confinement, prison inmates would see such gesture from NOUN as a measure meant to reduce the burden on them and to provide the platform to improve and make themselves better citizens,” Adamu added.The Director, Media and Publicity of  NOUN, Malam Ibrahim Sheme mentioned in a press release that the vice-chancellor further explained that NOUN, being a single mode institution charged with the responsibility of adding lifelong value to those yearning for quality education, would also explore the option of taking education to young girls.
