The University of Ibadan (UI) announces new rules for collecting academic certificates, warning that any certificates left uncollected for more than 10 years will be destroyed. The university says it is introducing guidelines to govern the certificate collection process.
Both outlets report that the policy applies specifically to certificates that remain unclaimed beyond the 10-year period. The reports describe UI as issuing the guidelines to manage outstanding document retrieval and set a clear timeline for candidates or representatives who intend to collect certificates.
While the outlets agree on the core measure—destruction of certificates after more than a decade—the coverage provides limited additional details on implementation, such as the notification process for affected graduates, the date the rule takes effect, or the procedure for collecting certificates after the deadline. Overall, the published information focuses on UI’s intention to eliminate long-uncollected certificates and formalize collection guidance.
