Miva Open University has opened a new study centre in Ungwan Sarki, Kaduna State, as part of efforts to expand access to flexible higher education and bring academic support services closer to students.
Speaking at the commissioning, the Vice-Chancellor of the university, Prof Tayo Arulogun, said the centre was established to make education more accessible while complementing the institution’s online-first learning model with physical spaces where students can connect and receive support.
Arulogun said the facility would provide students with academic support, opportunities for interaction and access to university activities.
He said, “The launch of our Kaduna Study Centre is another step towards making education accessible and bringing the Miva experience closer to more students.
“We recognise that accessibility goes beyond providing an online learning platform; it is also about creating opportunities for students to connect, engage and receive the support they need.”
The Vice-Chancellor urged students and members of the wider community to take advantage of the new facility.
A Master of Information Technology student of the university, Fareedah Misbakhun, who attended the inauguration, said the Kaduna centre would provide her with an alternative environment for studying.
“As someone who loves to read outside my home, in a quiet environment, having a centre in Kaduna that provides me with such an opportunity is a very beautiful development for me,” she said.
The Kaduna facility is the latest addition to Miva Open University’s network of study centres across Nigeria, following the establishment of centres in Uyo, Abeokuta and Ibadan.
The university said the expansion was driven by its growing student population and geographical reach, adding that the centres were designed to complement rather than replace its online learning platform.
Those present at the commissioning included a lecturer at Miva Open University, Dr Abubakar Ijoko; Chief People Officer, uLesson Group, Oladipo Olugbemi; Prof Tayo Arulogun; and the Head of Community Growth and Brand Experience, Miva Open University.
