       The National Universities Commission (NUC) has approved by the
       establishment of the Lagos State University (LASU) Open and
       Distance Learning and Research Institute (ODLRI).  The approval
       came after a recent visit by the Universities Regulatory Body to
       assess the facilities of the Institute at the Main Campus of the
       University in Ojo.
       The ODLRI was established by the Prof. Olanrewaju Adigun
       Fagbohun-led administration to replace the now rested LASU
       External System (LASUES) and provide opportunity for millions of
       knowledge seekers who are desirous of pursuing their first
       degrees in the University, but are unable to gain admission into
       the regular programmes. The ODLRI Board is headed by renowned
       Academic and Former Executive Secretary, NUC, Dist. Prof. Peter
       Okebukola.
       The Vice Chancellor, Professor Fagbohun, while receiving the NUC
       team on their assessment visit, had assured the Executive
       Secretary, NUC, Professor Abubakar Rasheed that LASU-ODLRI will
       be the gold standard in the delivery of quality University
       education in Africa through the Open and Distance Learning
       delivery platform. The approved take-off programme is the
       Bachelor of Science in Business Administration.
       LASU-ODLRI has several unique features. Course contents are
       pitched above NUC minimum standards with slant on 21-Century
       skills especially critical thinking, teamwork, entrepreneurship
       and digital literacy. It will be delivered on a
       learner-friendly, easy-to-navigate e-learning platform with
       24-hour learner support. It will apply global best practices in
       Open and Distance learning delivery. Another distinguishing
       feature is that it will embed research and development into all
       operations.  All course materials are pilot tested before full
       diffusion. There are no imported courseware as all materials are
       proudly homegrown in LASU. It will blend 30% on-campus
       instruction with 70% instruction in a technology-enabled virtual
       learning environment.
       With the approval of the Institute, sale of forms is expected to
       commence any moment from now.
