The general public is hereby informed that whereas the Commission maintains its stand that online degrees are
not accepted in Nigeria at the moment, this does not include the approved Nigerian Universities e-Learning
Programme run within the shores of Nigeria.
The Nigerian Universities e-Learning Programme is a legitimate and well thought out pilot e-learning
initiative. It is a Public Private Partnership between the National Universities Commission (NUC), Park
Associates E-Learning Group, and four federal universities. Its goal is to provide new opportunities for students
to access university education in Nigeria.
The fourParticipating Universities are:
i. University of Uyo;
ii. National Open University of Nigeria;
iii. Usmanu Danfodiyo University, Sokoto; and
iv. University of Maiduguri.
Students enrolled in the Programme can select any of the following undergraduate degree programmes:
Economics, Banking & Finance, Accounting, Business Administration and Marketing for which they have
requisite qualifications. The Programme for now is only available for candidates who wish to obtain BSc
Degree in Economics.
The Commission wishes to use this medium to allay all fears and doubts concerning the legitimacy or NUC
endorsement of the Nigerian Universities e-Learning Programme. This is one of the avenues that the National
Universities Commission is exploring to increase access to university education without compromising quality.
Students in the Programme are therefore advised to continue to pursue their studies without fear and
prospective applicants are encouraged to enrol. Concerned parents, guardians, students and the general public
may contact the Commission for further clarification on the Programme under reference.
