The 2017 set of students from the National Teacher’s Institute (NTI) Moro Centre in Osun State has appealed to the Federal Government for intervention regarding the release of their certificates.
This group, comprising students from the English, Mathematics, and Physical and Health departments, lamented that they are facing setbacks in career advancement due to the delay.
They also expressed frustration, claiming to be the pioneer set at the Moro Centre, and noted that subsequent sets have already received their certificates.
Speaking with our correspondent in Osogbo, yesterday, one affected student, Onifade Kolade, highlighted that the lack of certificates has hindered their progress during screening exercises for promotions at their workplaces.
“We are appealing to the national headquarters of the NTI, stakeholders in the education sector, and the Federal Government to intervene and save us from the stagnation this issue has caused in our careers,” Kolade stated.
He added, “The school has informed us that our certificates are still under processing, even after eight years since we completed our courses. Tragically, some of our colleagues have passed away without ever receiving their certificates.”
Another student, Adeolu Tobi, explained that the coordinator had made efforts with financial supports by students to fast track the release of the certificate, but all to no avail.
“We have contributed several times whenever our coordinator asked us to support his efforts, but it has not yielded any good results till today.”
The group expressed hope for a resolution that will enable them to receive their long-awaited certificates and allow them to advance in their professional lives.
