It was learnt that at the opening ceremony of National Open University Study Centre in Delta State recently the paramount ruler of the Isoko North Local Government Area, HRM Francis Onovughakpor Ekhama who is 102 years old was awarded a limitless scholarship to study to any level of his choice by the Vice Chancellor of NOUN, Prof. Vincent Tenebe.
According to the Vice Chancellor, this is part of the efforts of NOUN to demystifying university education in Nigeria.
He further stated, “the Odion has to start burning his candle now to earn a degree free of charge. He is not the first to be so challenged. The Awujale of Ijebu Land, Ogun State, Oba Sikiru who is 80 years old is a student of NOUN. He would soon graduate.”
If you were the one at that age (102) what course will you study?
