Other programmes with premium benefits will soon be added to expand access to learning opportunities for everyone at Babcock University.” 

In a statement by Onyekachi Ginger-Eke, Business Head, EduTech Global, “In recent years, the provision of e-learning solutions was necessitated by the widening gap between demand and access to education. But considering current realities brought about by the dawning of the COVID-19 pandemic, e-learning is needed now, more than ever.”

“With the launch of the B.Sc. Accounting programme, BUCODeL and EduTech Global are perfectly poised to provide access to quality education to all and sundry.
