Okike Chinyere is one of the many inmates who have bagged degrees from NOUN.
A female inmate of the Nigerian Correctional Service, Lagos State Command, Okike Chinyere, has emerged as the best graduating student of the Peace and Conflict Resolution department, National Open University (NOUN).
She bagged a second-class upper degree in the course, according to a statement by the correctional service.
Aside from her, a male inmate, Alegbe Afolabi, was awarded an MSc in Peace and Conflict Resolution.
In his vote of thanks, one of the graduating inmates, Nweke Chibueze, thanked the Controller General, Haliru Nababa, and the Vice-Chancellor of NOUN for the opportunity. He, however, pleaded for clemency for the graduating students so they can be freed to give their quota to the country’s development.
