The National Universities Commission (NUC) says significant progress has been made in the integration of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) into Nigeria’s education system.

The Commission’s Acting Secretary-General, Professor Chris Mayaki, disclosed this at the opening ceremony of the 1st NTI Annual National Conference 2023 in Kaduna on Tuesday.

The theme of the conference is “Redirecting the focus of education stakeholders to a modern process of developing competent, dedicated and professional teachers in Nigeria”.

The Executive Director, represented by Professor Mohammed Yahaya of the University of Ibadan, said that since 2009, NUC has implemented a number of programs designed to integrate open learning and distance learning (ODL) approaches in accordance with international best practices. He said he has been leading the way.

He said these programs have enabled university officials to use technology to improve student engagement.

“Furthermore, the establishment of ODL Centers by universities has expanded access to education and made it more inclusive,” Maiyaki said.

“NUC’s work extends beyond ICT and also paves the way for the establishment of a private open university to promote digital learning and ICT-led education delivery.”
