The National Open University of Nigeria (NOUN) is a federal open distance learning (ODL) institution in Nigeria. It is the first and only open distance learning institution in Nigeria and has been in operation since 1983. NOUN offers a wide range of undergraduate and postgraduate programs in various fields, including business, education, science and technology, arts and humanities, and social sciences.

NOUN is a popular choice for students who are working or have other commitments that prevent them from attending traditional classroom-based lectures. The university’s flexible learning model allows students to study at their own pace and in their own time. Students can access their course materials online and contact their instructors by email or phone.
