Obasanjo the Phd Holder—Wonders shall never end

President Muhammadu Buhari has congratulated former President Olusegun
Obasanjo for bagging a doctorate degree at the National Open University
(NOUN).

Buhari, who was the visitor at 7th Convocation of NOUN on Saturday in
Abuja, described Obasanjo as the “Father of Open and Distance Education
in Nigeria.’’

Obasanjo who was among the 14,769 graduands, was conferred with Doctor
of Philosophy in Christian Theology, thereby making him the first PhD
product of NOUN.

Out of the number, 41 bagged first class honours.

Represented by Prof. Abubakar Raheed, Executive Secretary, National
Universities Commission (NUC), Buhari said that it was Obasanjo’s belief
in Open and Distance Learning (ODL) that made him enroll in NOUN.

“Obasanjo, because of his quest for quality education, could have opted
to fulfill his desire for university education in Ivy League
universities of the world and none of them could have denied him this
opportunity.

“NOUN and indeed Nigerians, will continue to appreciate your belief,
recognition of and support for ODL in Nigeria; we are proud of you,’’ he
said.

Buhari said that his administration desired that Nigerian universities,
irrespective of their mode of delivery, would deliver on national needs
and aspiration as well as be strategically positioned to compete
internationally.

The visitor said that as a result of the centrality of the curriculum in
the delivery of quality university education, he had charged NUC to
ensure periodic review of Nigerian university curriculum.

In his remark, Obasanjo expressed delight for being awarded doctorate degree by NOUN.

He described NOUN as one of the best institutions of learning in Africa.

The former president said that he had many honorary degrees but none was as fulfilling as bagging a doctorate degree from NOUN.

“I feel a different sense of joy today from when I receive honorary
degrees; at last count, I have received about 20 honorary degrees from
top grade universities all over the world.

“The earned doctorate degree I receive today comes with a different sense of fulfillment and accomplishment.

“My studentship of NOUN confirmed that via the ODL platform, there is no age limit, no status barrier, no social lineage.’’

He said that during his student’s days at NOUN, he requested that he
should not be given any special privilege because he wanted to go
through it as other students.

“I went through the rigours and discipline of post graduate studies like any other post graduate student.

“I thank my supervisors for giving me the opportunity of going through
the grail and the crucible of research for my doctoral work.

“I could not have had better supervisors; they were firm, strict but meticulous and tortuous,’’ he said.

He thanked the staff and management of NOUN and congratulated fellow graduands.
