The University of Port Harcourt has denied withholding the results of over 2,000 graduating students of the institution.
The Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Owunari Georgewill told newsmen on Friday that all pending issues preventing students from graduating and proceeding for the compulsory National Youth Service Corps had been given executive attention.
He stated: “In the media, in the past three days, some students have been talking about 2,000 students that have been on the graduating list that has not been released.
“Please, take it out from her that there is no such list. There is no waiting list anywhere. This administration ensures that every result that is ready, the Vice Chancellor, executively approves that result to wait whenever the senate is called.
“So, there is no result anywhere we have left. What is the result waiting for? The Vice-Chancellor is there to approve all results”.
While advising students still having issues with graduation to approach their various departments with proof of their cleared outstanding courses, the VC said claims in a section of the media that some results were not released were false.
“I have interacted with some of them (students), even on social media, and I have told them to go to their departments. I asked one of the students if she had seen her spreadsheet or know her Cumulative Grade Point (CGP) and she said she had not seen it.
“So, I asked how she knew she had finished the programme, and she said her course adviser told her that she had graduated. The issue is that some students have not gone to their departments to even see whether they owe courses or not”, Georgewill said.
