NOUN | Students locked out of school for late arrival

Almost 80 students were locked out of NOUN Abeokuta centre and denied entry into the school on 14th September 2020  for arriving late.

When we asked some of the students who were locked out, they gave us the responses below:

We were late by nine minutes and found the gate locked and were sent back home,” said a 400level student who declined to be named for fear of victimization

This is not serving any purpose because we are losing out money, stress, and time.

This is my first POP exam and I’m staying very far from the study centre, this is very frustrating and annoying

A student added that he was frustrated by the lock-outs and called upon the management to put a stop to this practice. 

W advise students from each of the Noun centres to go for their exams on time to avoid being locked out of school.
