I was at the public lecture on open and distance learning on the theme , “Tertiary Education: How open ?” delivered by Sir John Daniel, President and CEO of the commonwealth of Learning, held at the conference hall, of the Cyber Tower 1, Ebène. We are indeed very lucky to have Sir John Daniel in our midst, as we are living exciting times in the tertiary sector. We have the intention of setting up an Open University very soon. We appreciate the contributions of the Commonwealth of Learning in assisting us in this endeavour.  A special thanks to their senior staff who have come over this year to guide us through the thinking process for the setting up of the Open University. The international platform provides us with a unique opportunity to learn from Sir John’s wide experience in the field of Open and distance education internationally. I thank again, Sir John to have come in and share his knowledge with us.
