NATIONAL Open University of Nigeria,
NOUN, is set to introduce a new instructional tablet termed ‘i-NOUN’ aimed at
overcoming the challenge of shortage of study materials in the university.
The vice chancellor of the university,
Professor Abdalla Uba Adamu, disclosed this during the week during his courtesy
visit to the chancellor of the university, His Royal Majesty Igwe Dr. Lawrence
Chikezie Agubuzu, in his palace at Awene Ezeama-Olo in Ezeagu Local Government
Area of Enugu State...
According to Prof. Adamu, the new
tablet will resolve all the challenges being faced as a result of shortages of study
materials, and above all, will drastically reduce fees payable by students in
the university when launched. The institution’s head also used the opportunity
to eulogise his predecessor, Professor Vincent Tenebe stating that he is
committed to continue from where he stopped.
“The i-NOUN tablet which would be made
available to all students will have all study materials needed by students of
the university uploaded in it and would be updated regularly to foreclose the
possibility of those study materials getting obsolete,” Adamu said.
His host, the NOUN chancellor, had
earlier commended President Muhammadu Buhari for appointing Professor Adamu as the
Vice Chancellor stating that his credentials are overwhelmingly intimidating and
sensitively qualified for taking the institution to the new level, and pledged
to join forces with the Vice chancellor in making NOUN not only the largest university
in Nigeria but an enviable one.
“When I read through his
extra-ordinary curriculum vitae, I knew that Mr. President has made the right
choice and he is eminently qualified to manage this great university,” he said.
The royal father used the opportunity
to urge Nigerians to give unalloyed support to President Muhammadu Buhari in
moving the country forward.
“President Buhari is a quintessential
patriot who must be supported by all Nigerians to build this country,” Igwe
Agubuzu said.
