the quality standard of teaching.

It has a qualified and professional lecturers and professors in all field, and there quality library and laboratory for science research. There's nothing to dislike about this university and I will recommend it to someone.

Flexible learning

I Studied Mass Communication at the National Open University of Nigeria (2013–2017).It was a good experience overall. I liked the flexibility the program provided, as I could learn at my own pace.and the course material were really easy and self explanatory.Also doing my internship at TV/radio station with real newscasters made the entire experience a memorable one. The computer-based exams and assessment tests were also a great, making the learning process modern and convenient. However, I sometimes wished for more direct lectures and interaction with tutors. In fact, l and some of my coursemates had to engage lecturers from the University of Benin to help guide us through certain topics. While the independent learning approach was valuable, having more structured lecture support within the university would have made the experience even better.
