The National Open University of Nigeria, NOUN, has announced the postponement of the Investiture of the Oba of Benin, His Majesty Oba Ewuare II, as its new Chancellor to next Saturday.
The Investiture ceremony was initially scheduled to take place on Thursday, 11th April, 2024, as part of the institution’s 13th Convocation Ceremony. However, due to the public holiday for the Eid el-Fitr festival on Thursday, the event has been rescheduled.
In a statement signed by the Registrar of the University, Oladipo A. Ajayi, it was explained that the postponement was necessary due to the extension of the festival by a day following the circumstances of the Ramadan moon-sighting.
As a result, the Investiture of the Chancellor will now take place on Saturday morning, coinciding with the day of the Convocation Ceremony. Mr. Ajayi expressed regret for any inconvenience caused by the rescheduling, emphasizing that the situation was unforeseen.
Stay tuned for more updates on this significant event at NOUN.
