The University of Calabar (UNICAL) has said that more than 42,000 certificates were yet to be claimed by graduates of the institution from 1980 to date.
The registrar of the university Mr. Gabriel Egbe, who disclosed this in a statement in Calabar on Wednesday, said the unclaimed documents cut across various faculties and institutes.
“It has been discovered that there are over 42,000 unclaimed certificates of the University of Calabar, in various faculties and institutes. Some of these certificates date back to the 1980s.
“The university management is shocked by this abnormality, and therefore, directs that all those who have not collected their certificates after several years of graduation should do so immediately.
“Persons, who are acquainted with these group of graduands, should please, inform them to come for collection.
“Those who do not do so before the end of September 25, 2021, will have their name published and will be surcharged subsequently,” he said.
