The project, funded by the Tertiary Education Trust Fund (TETFund), aims to modernize learning across Nigerian institutions. The initiative is touted as the largest single adoption of Blackboard globally.
The launch ceremony was attended by college management, academic staff, and representatives from Pole Global Marketing, the Nigerian implementation partner for Anthology Blackboard.
The platform is expected to enhance teaching methodologies, improve student engagement, and prepare graduates for a digital-driven future.
Under TETFund's directive, all government-owned tertiary institutions are expected to adopt Blackboard before the end of 2025, with orientation for staff and students scheduled ahead of the September academic session.
The initiative is aligned with President Bola Tinubu's policy for inclusive, technology-driven education and reflects the government's commitment to providing Nigerian students with digital tools available in world-class institutions abroad.
