The Coordinator, South-east Conference Marking Zone and Dean, Faculty of Law, National Open University of Nigeria (NOUN), Dr. Ernest Ugbejeh, has said the exercise is a serious assignment which requires diligence and commitment within the stipulated time-frame.
He disclosed this while briefing the examiners during the 2023_1 conference marking, which commenced on Wednesday, May 24, 2023 in the South-east zone in Enugu State.
Ugbejeh, while stating that only Ph.D degree holders are qualified for participation in the marking exercise, he advised the markers who would not be able to meet with the deadline of scripts submission to kindly decline.
"It is important to note that examiners are expected to be meticulous, thorough and careful in ensuring that scripts allocated to them are checked, counted, documented and jealously protected.
