The University of Ilorin has urged its graduates, both undergraduate and postgraduate, to promptly collect their unclaimed certificates.
In an internal memorandum dated 18 December and obtained by PUNCH Online on Sunday, the institution stated that it had observed a significant backlog of uncollected certificates, which led to the latest directive.
The University Registrar, M.A. Alfanla, has set a final deadline for certificate collection on Friday, 17 January 2025. Graduates who fail to collect their certificates by this date will be charged a penalty of ?3,000 for each week of delay.
“The University Management, therefore, urges all affected graduates to collect their certificates on or before Friday, 17 January 2025. Failure to do so thereafter will attract a fine of ?3,000.00 per week,” the memo stated.
The university further stressed the importance of ensuring a smooth collection process by bringing along the necessary documents.
These include proof of payment for convocation, the original copy of the Statement of Results, the Student Identification Card, and any other relevant documentation. (Sunday PUNCH)
