In 2009, the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS)
rolled out a document spelling out five major social, economic and
environmental goals it wishes to achieve by 2020. These goals are
lofty indeed but they can be achieved only with reliance on not
only an enlightened citizenry but also on at least 40 percent of a
population that should have received university training.
Consequently, university education within the sub-region needs to
be reappraised for the purpose of positioning West Africa for the
actualisation of its vision. The task of revitalising university
education within the countries making up ECOWAS is no more a
difficult one as World Bank and international development partners,
during the 2009 World Conference on Higher Education, did affirm
their commitment to helping Africa develop a virile and relevant
higher education system. This commitment shall bear fruit only when
the existing low performing higher education structure in the
sub-region gives way to a more cost-effective, flexible and
massively accessible new structure. This new structure must, by
necessity, be Open and Distance Learning based.
