UNILORIN introduces courier service for collection of certificates

The University of Ilorin (UNILORIN) in Kwara State has introduced a system where unclaimed certificates could be collected through courier service.

The UNILORIN Registrar, Mansur Alfanla, disclosed this to newsmen in Ilorin, the Kwara State capital, on Monday, January 6, 2025.

Alfanla described the move as upgrading to international best practices.

The Registrar said: “This move will allow prospective collectors to receive their certificates through courier delivery.

“This is a departure from the university’s previous policy of not allowing third-party collection.

“To collect their certificates, interested individuals are required to submit the original statement of result, court affidavit, indemnity form and valid international passport (for applicants in the diaspora).

“For those who prefer physical collection, it has been arranged for collection to take place at the university from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m, every Monday to Friday.

“This development is expected to bring convenience to graduates and alumni of the university, especially those residing outside the country.”

The Registrar had, in a memo dated December 18, 2024, advised all graduates of the university to collect their certificates before January 17, 2025.

The memo stated that graduates who failed to collect their certificates before the deadline would pay a fine of N3,000 per week before collection of the certificate.
