Miva Open University’s Convocation: Charting a New Path for Nigerian Higher Education

At the maiden convocation of Miva Open University, Pro-Chancellor Dr Tunji Olowolafe delivered a powerful message about the future of education in Nigeria. He argued that learning must meet students where they are without sacrificing quality. Dr Olowolafe highlighted how open-access models can overcome distance, economic constraints and work commitments. He urged graduates to embrace education as a lifelong journey, not just a degree milestone. His most striking point was that Nigeria’s greatest challenge lies in organised will, not resources. As Miva celebrates its first graduating class, it offers a blueprint for how accessible, high-quality higher education can drive national development.
