An ex-student of Delta State University, Mr Thaddeus Ifeanyi has dragged the institution before the National Human Rights Commission after he was awarded a 2.2 at the end of his degree program.
Ifeanyi expressed his dissatisfaction with the degree given to him in an a letter addressed to the Coordinator, National Human Rights Commission, Asaba, Delta State.
He maintained that there were some irregularities while the result was been compiled.
Ifeanyi stated that all efforts to obtain his real result and correct the error was not successful hence his resolve to take the institution to court and correct the error.
He wrote: “I graduated in the 2013/2014 academic session. The university claimed that I graduated with less than 3.0 CGPA (Cumulative Grade Point Average), which is Second Class Lower, but I strongly believe that I graduated with Second Class Upper.
“My grouse with the university is that I strongly believe that there was an error in the computation of my CGPA. I am not convinced that the result they gave me is correct; but all my efforts to get it corrected have proved abortive.
“I have followed and observed due process enough; I am filing a suit in court against the university. I want to seek judiciary intervention. The petition to the human rights commission will not be the last. After this, if I do not get justice, I will drag them to court.
“I have told a team of lawyers to prepare the suit against the university. I am waiting for human rights commission to conclude its intervention.
“First, we approached Sociology Department and requested to see the marked 400-level scripts in question and the HOD, Sociology Department, said the immediate past vice chancellor took my scripts away.
“The vice chancellor, on the receipt of my protest letter, ordered for my scripts, together with the marking guide and sent them for re-marking. After the re-marking was over, the university didn’t communicate me on the outcome.
“I have written to the school, Governor Ifeanyi Okowa, Speaker of the Delta State House Assembly, but nothing was done to correct the injustice done to me.”
When the publication contacted the Vice Chancellor of the university, Prof. Andy Egwunyenga, he said he was not aware of the incident, adding that an issue with a student’s result is an internal affair.
