National Open University of Nigeria

It is Nigeria's largest tertiary institution in terms of student numbers, and is popularly referred to as NOUN.

[5] By its nature as an ODL institution, NOUN does not provide lectures to students in normal classrooms except some certain study centres.

The study centre in Lagos for instance provides lectures to all the law undergraduates and supplies course materials to all students after the payment of tuition fees.

The registry department's primary responsibility is to provide support services for the general administration of the university with emphasis on council affairs, senate matters, recruitment of staff, student admission and welfare, staff welfare and related activities.

The reduction in financial support for those attending traditional universities, coupled with the use of sites such as YouTube and Khan Academy that appeal to this demographic, is believed to be behind this growth.

[39][40] The iLearn portal provides students with access to the university's learning resources, including: The university uses computer-based test (CBT) for first and second year students, except for law undergraduates who sit conventional pen-on-paper (POP) from their first year of admission.

The NOUN 105.9 FM radio station[44] broadcasts on workdays and provides opportunities for Mass Communication students.

In May 2014, the Nollywood movie star Ini Edo made headlines when she was offered a scholarship to study law at the university.

Chioma Chukwuka-Akpotha, Francis Duru, Doris Simeon and Sani Danja were announced as ambassadors for the NOUN.
