The National Association of University Students (NAUS), National Association of Nigerian Colleges of Education Students (NANCES) and National Association of Polytechnic Students (NAPS) have commended the Electronic Education Initiative (E-DON) as an important development in Nigeria's education sector.

The student bodies made this known during a joint press conference, where they discussed issues affecting students and tertiary education in Nigeria.

They said E-DON can help improve digital teaching and learning through virtual live interactive classrooms, while also giving Nigerian students and lecturers opportunities to connect with global education partners.

The student leaders called on the National Universities Commission (NUC) to adopt the initiative in universities, they also appealed to the National Board for Technical Education (NBTE) and the Committee of Rectors to extend E-DON to polytechnics across the country.

They further suggested that E-DON should be extended to at least one lecture hall in every department of tertiary institutions to give more students access to digital and interactive learning.

The initiative uses educational technology, including 3D animation simulation software and QR interactive Smartboards, to support modern teaching and learning.

The student bodies also appealed to state governments to address disputes involving COEASU, ASUU and ASUP in state-owned institutions, noting that prolonged strikes affect students and the education system.

Abubakar Tatari Ali Polytechnic (ATAPOLY Bauchi), under the Directorate of Preliminary Studies and Knowledge Alternatives, has introduced an important new programme — the upgrading of Ordinary Diploma (OND) to National Diploma (ND), as well as a result improvement scheme for candidates who graduated with a Pass grade.
Applicants who possess an Ordinary Diploma in any of our accredited courses now have the opportunity to upgrade their certificate to a National Diploma (ND) by undergoing just two semesters of study. However, only candidates from government-approved institutions are eligible to apply.
Sales of application forms will commence from 16th February to 30th March 2026. The cost of the form is ₦3,000 only, and lectures will begin immediately after the commencement of form sales, Insha Allah.
Furthermore, candidates who completed their National Diploma with a Pass grade now have the opportunity to improve their results. This new arrangement allows such candidates to undergo two semesters (one academic year) to upgrade their results to Lower Credit, Upper Credit, or Distinction, depending on their performance and effort.
Both programmes will officially begin in the 2025/2026 Academic Session. Interested applicants are advised to visit the Directorate of Preliminary Studies and Knowledge Alternatives within the Polytechnic campus to obtain their application forms.
This is a great opportunity for anyone who wishes to enhance their academic qualification and increase the value of their certificate. Do not miss this chance.
