The First African Distance Learning University (FADLU) Operates Under A Model
The First African Distance Learning University (FADLU) operates under a model known as Transnational or Cross-Border Education. Here is how that breakdown works in practice: • The Setup: It uses its Nigerian corporate registration (CAC) to legally run an office or handle administration locally, but it relies on its foreign educational licensing (such as its registration in Mauritius) to issue its degrees online. • The Catch: Because it positions itself as a foreign online institution, it bypasses the National Universities Commission (NUC) approval process.
In Nigeria, the NUC strictly regulates physical and local online universities, but it does not formally accredit independent foreign virtual universities. If you are considering enrolling, just keep in mind that your degree will be viewed as a foreign online qualification, not a standard Nigerian university degree. Are you looking to pursue a specific course or degree here, or are you trying to figure out if this degree will be accepted by a particular employer or for further studies?
