Prof. Lilian Salami, Vice-Chancellor of the University of Benin, has announced that the school’s senate has granted amnesty to 500 students who have overstayed their visas in order for them to graduate. She also stated that in the 2018/2019 academic session, 125 students received First Class degrees and 2,794 received Second Class Upper degrees, while 157 received First Class and 2,631 received Second Class Upper in the 2019/2020 academic session. The Vice-Chancellor made the remarks during a press conference in Benin on Monday, as part of activities commemorating the university’s 46th and 47th convocations. According to the vice-chancellor, the event will also be used to commemorate the university’s centennial. “The Senate looked into the instances of more than 500 students who had overstayed at the institution and awarded ‘amnesty’ to graduate from the system,” she said. “According to the information available, our teaching staff numbered 1,779, while non-teaching workers were around 6,063. With the employment embargo still in effect, we began the process of identifying qualified members of staff from among non-teaching workers, who were then redeployed to the teaching cadre. The VC also stated that the university would bestow Honorary Doctorate Degrees on Lt. General Theophilus Danjuma, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun, Dr. Natalia Kanem, Mr. Oluwakemi Pinheiro, SAN, and Dr. Thomas Illube, while the former Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Osayuki Oshodin, would be named Professor Emeritus.

Admissions applicants to the University of Benin (UNIBEN) have been warned against racketeering practices by the university’s administration. Dr Benedicta Ehanire, the university’s Public Relations Officer (PRO), said on Saturday that racketeers had been raising large amounts of money from unsuspecting applicants in order to encourage entry. Swindlers often walk into the university’s admission offices and administration building to make their sinister deeds appear true, according to Ehanire. As a result, the PRO cautioned the public not to fall victim to such schemes, noting that there was no fee for admission to the university. He did, however, urge any survivor of the heinous act to return to her office with evidence in order to help the university repair its reputation. Whistleblowers, she said, would be considered for admission if they were eligible. Source Vanguard News
