The National Open University of Nigeria (NOUN) has sought the support of members of the National Assembly to create awareness among their constituents about the potentials of Open and Distance Learning.
Vice Chancellor of the university, Prof. Abdalla Uba Adamu, who stated this during a courtesy visit to the senator representing Kano North Senatorial Zone, Senator Barau Jibrin, in Abuja, said the call became necessary in view of the need to bring on board young girls and women who, as a result of cultural practices peculiar to their communities, have been denied access to education over the years.
Adamu said with flexible and affordable education being championed by the university, women now have unfettered access to education and this would help remove prejudices.
In response, Senator Jibrin expressed his readiness to partner with the authorities of the university in spreading the potentials inherent in studying through the open and distance learning mode of education among his constituents.
