Shocking as 2 Repentant Boko Haram Insurgents Enrol In National Open University
The chairman of the Governing Council of the National Open University of Nigeria, Professor Peter Okebukola, says two repentant Boko Haram insurgents have enrolled for degree programmes at the institution.
Speaking yesterday after a council meeting in Abuja, he said more women were enrolling at the university than men.
According to him, the university has the largest enrolment so far with 550,000 students out of which women have outnumbered men.
He said: “The figures for second semester registration by zone show that 58% of those taking examination in NOUN are female.”
He said the council had approved new undergraduate programmes in International Relations, French, and Development studies; PhD and master’s in Mass Communication, Law, Cyber Security, Artificial Intelligence, Master of International Law and Diplomacy as well as Msc in Cyber Security, Public Health and PGD in Economics.
