The Dean of Faculty of Law,
University of Jos (UNIJOS), Prof. Dakas C. Dakas, has revealed that the
University awarded First Class degrees to about 20 graduands in error.
The error, which occurred on the
university’s convocation ceremony web portal, saw several graduands of the
department’s 2015/2016 academic session bagging First Class degrees.
The 2015/2016 set of Law students
at the university produced only one First Class graduand, Olusegun Pelumi
Adewunmi, but several other graduands from the Law Department said they logged
on to discover they had been awarded higher class of degree.
About 20 graduands from the
Department of Law at the University were said to have been erroneously awarded
First Class degrees by the university.
Reacting, Prof. Dakas told
newsmen in Jos on Monday that the incident was due a technical error from the
ITC department.
“The degrees were awarded to the
graduands in error. It was an internal problem that would be resolved soon. The
students have attested to the fact that their class of degree was awarded in
error,” he said.
Prof. Dakas said the university
authority was working round the clock to resolve the problem ahead of the 29th
and 30th Combined Convocation coming up on June 23.
