Ignatius Ajuru University of Education (IAUE) has postponed its 44th convocation ceremony earlier fixed for March 27 and 28, 2026, amid indications that technical challenges within its Information and Communication Technology (ICT) unit disrupted the processing and upload of undergraduate results.
In a terse public notice, the university confirmed that the ceremony, scheduled for Friday, March 27, and Saturday, March 28, will no longer hold, urging the general public to disregard the earlier dates. The institution also expressed regret over any inconvenience caused by the development.
Findings suggest that the postponement is linked to the non-functionality of the university’s ICT unit, which has reportedly hindered the timely upload and processing of results for graduating students—an essential requirement for the convocation.
Efforts to get official clarification on the situation were unsuccessful, as the institution’s Public Relations Officer, Ngozi Okiridu, could not be reached. Calls to her line were not answered as of the time of filing this report.
The development has left affected students and stakeholders in uncertainty, with the university stating only that a new date for the convocation will be announced in due course.
