DLI is the acronym for Distance Learning Institutes. This is a part-time weekend Programme offered by the University of Lagos (UNILAG). The purpose of UNILAG DLI is to provide high quality education for desired Nigerians, both local and international, employed and unemployed so long as certain requirements are met.
The Programme is a good one and very flexible too and I will endorse it for anybody particularly the working class who still has a dream of pursuing his or her educational dreams.
The good thing is that no difference, no discrimination except the number of years spent which is usually a year or some months more than the full time degree. And the certificates are exactly the same, so be rest assured.
