FADLU vs Miva: Who Is Nigeria’s First Fully Online University?

Nigeria’s higher education landscape now includes two fully online institutions competing for “first” status. First African Distance Learning University (FADLU) was incorporated on March 8, 2021. It operates as an accredited global online institution with a liaison office in Awgu, Enugu State. FADLU highlights its range of international programs. Miva Open University launched in 2023 under the uLesson Group. It is the first online university officially licensed by the National Universities Commission. Miva focuses on flexible degree programs in nursing, public health and law for Nigerian students. Both institutions seek to expand access through digital learning.
