NOUN’s 15th Convocation to Graduate 24,575 Students, 57 with First-Class Honours

The National Open University of Nigeria will hold its 15th convocation on April 18, 2026, awarding degrees to 24,575 graduates. Among them, 57 students will receive First-Class honours. The graduating cohort includes 17,474 undergraduates, 1,788 Postgraduate Diploma recipients, 5,282 Master’s degree holders and 31 doctoral graduates. Management Sciences leads with 7,455 graduates, followed by Social Sciences (6,024) and Health Sciences (3,939). Female undergraduates now form the majority, with 10,180 of the 17,474 earning their degrees. The university will also confer certificates on 56 inmates benefiting from its free education policy, underscoring its commitment to rehabilitation and hope. Convocation ceremonies will run simultaneously at the central campus and all study centres. Graduates will receive their certificates immediately after the ceremony, marking a shift toward greater efficiency. A pre-convocation lecture on “Nigeria Against Corruption” will be delivered on April 17 by Chief Kanu Godwin Agabi (SAN).

Awarding degrees to over 24,000 graduates is impressive, but I wonder about the quality of resources and faculty attention per student.

First-class honours for 57 students sounds admirable, yet highlighting such a small number might overshadow broader achievements of other graduates.

Local study groups and digital learning platforms could help these graduates stay engaged post-convocation and maintain academic momentum.
