This advocacy was made during the certification and award presentation to 101 participants for the free accredited online courses that lasted fourteen days at Victoria Island in Lagos, Nigeria.

A pointer was made that aside poverty, distraction is one of the challenges of online education system despite the flexibility of study, thus the need for government and corporate organisations to invest hugely in the system in order to make it more interesting for the people.

Teach ours group organised this event to honour and project the essence of online courses in Nigeria because Online courses teach students how to manage their time better since the student bears the responsibility of engaging with the course instead of simply showing up to class on an assigned day and time. As a result, students not only gain knowledge from the coursework, but they also sharpen their time management skills.
