The National Open University of Nigeria is set to inaugurate its new Community Study Centre at Okpo in Kogi State.
The inauguration is scheduled for Friday, October 16, 2026, at Okpo.
Announcing the development, the Vice-Chancellor, Professor Uduma Oji Uduma, said the establishment of the Okpo Centre is a strategic move to broaden inclusivity and improve access to quality tertiary education through Open and Distance Learning.
Professor Uduma emphasised that for Nigeria to achieve mass literacy, stakeholders must strengthen the ODL system.
According to him, the ODL model as exemplified by NOUN has proven to be the future of education in Nigeria.
"NOUN is not just a university, we are the catalyst for an inclusive, borderless learning revolution," the Vice-Chancellor affirmed.
He noted that the initiative demonstrates NOUN's mandate of providing quality, cost-effective and flexible education for all Nigerians.
