The National Open University of Nigeria is an accredited Federal University in Nigeria.

It is modelled after the Open and Distance Learning (ODL) programme.

The university was established on 22nd July 1983 and later suspended by the same government on April 25 1984.

On April 12, 2001, the then-president of Nigeria, Gen. Olusegun Obasanjo began the resuscitation of the University which finally took off in 2002.

NOUN is the largest university in Nigeria by student enrolment and national spread.

It is the only institution licensed by the National Universities Commission to offer single-mode open and distance education to learners in Nigeria.
