A student from Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria (ABU), has raised concerns about the disposal of academic records after discovering a fellow student's answer script for a challenging course, "Nigerian History," discarded at a local spot. The script, written just three years ago, was found in a questionable location, sparking fears about the university's handling of students' academic records.
The student, who shared the discovery on social media, expressed alarm over the premature disposal of the script, especially in light of recent reports of students struggling to obtain their results years after graduation. The post referenced a case featured on the Berekete Family Live program, where a woman has been battling for over 10 years to retrieve her academic results from ABU.
The discovery raises broader concerns about the potential risks posed to students if records are not properly maintained. The student emphasized the importance of keeping academic records accessible for unforeseen circumstances, as some students may need them years later to resolve issues or inquiries related to their academic history.
Calls have been made for the management of Ahmadu Bello University to review their record management policies to prevent future incidents and ensure that student documents are preserved for an appropriate period.
