Abstract

This paper, while unarguably subscribing to the culture and practice of distance education as an integral part of any nation's education system and sustainable national development, is persuaded to the viewpoint that for Nigeria, and in fact any developing nation for that matter, to stand up and be reckoned with as having an efficient, effective and sustainable e-distance education, certain conditions must be satisfied. The conditions are summed up in the phrase: 'providing the enabling environment. This enabling environment, in its ramifications range from provision of electricity and telecommunications infrastructure to guarantee access and affordability. Addressing the foregoing in order to have an e-distance education that any reasonable man can attest to calls for some hard decisions which must bring about some changes on the political, economic and regulatory frameworks of the country.
