Miva Open University Pro-Chancellor advocates for educational reforms to expand access in Nigeria

Dr. Tunji Olowolafe, Pro-Chancellor of Miva Open University, called for reforms to expand access to higher education in Nigeria during the university's maiden convocation ceremony in Lagos. He emphasized that conventional institutions alone cannot meet the educational needs of Nigeria's growing population, making open and distance learning crucial for future reforms. Olowolafe stated that expanding access should not compromise academic standards but rather remove barriers for learners, ensuring more Nigerians can acquire quality education regardless of their circumstances. He highlighted open and distance learning as an effective solution to admission limitations and other challenges in the education sector, drawing parallels to the educational vision of the late Chief Obafemi Awolowo. Olowolafe commended Miva Open University for maintaining quality amidst rapid growth and urged graduating students to embrace lifelong learning and act as university ambassadors. He also called for a greater national commitment to development, stressing that Nigeria's progress relies on educated, disciplined citizens and stronger institutions.
