…Alausa, Sanusi back MiVA University online learning revolution

Nigeria’s push to expand access to higher education received a major boost as Miva Open University graduated 1,280 students at its maiden convocation ceremony, as stakeholders described digital learning as the future of education in Africa.

Tayo Arulogun, the vice-chancellor of MiVA Open University, speaking during the institution’s first convocation ceremony over the weekend, described the event as a defining moment for the institute and its mission to make quality education accessible to all.

“Miva Open University was built on a simple yet profound conviction: to prepare people for opportunity and improve society through education.

“We refuse to accept that high-quality tertiary education should be a scarce commodity limited by geography, infrastructure, or circumstance,” Arulogun said.
