               Brief History on the Centre for Open Distance and e-Learning
            </h2>
		<p>The concept of establishing Centre for Open Distance and e-Learning (CODeL) in Federal University of Technology, Minna was born out of the necessity to democratise and provide access to higher education to a larger number of interested students presently limited by the existing structure (human and physical resources) or engaged in other life demanding issues. This informed the University Senate’s position to</p><p>approve the establishment of the Centre for Open Distance and e-Learning (CODeL) in 2011 and the University Council in May, 2012. On the 19<sup>th</sup> October, 2015, Governing Board of the Centre for Open Distance and e-Learning (CODeL) was inaugurated by the former Vice-Chancellor, Prof. M. A. Akanji.</p>													<img width="1000" height="995" src="http://localhost/codel/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/image-09.png" alt="" srcset="http://localhost/codel/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/image-09.png 1000w, http://localhost/codel/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/image-09-300x300.png 300w, http://localhost/codel/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/image-09-180x180.png 180w, http://localhost/codel/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/image-09-600x597.png 600w, http://localhost/codel/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/image-09-175x175.png 175w, http://localhost/codel/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/image-09-768x764.png 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px" />
