Abstract: Distance Education as a concept is a generic term that includes the range of teaching/learning strategies used by correspondence colleges, Open Universities, distant learning departments of conventional colleges or Universities and distance training units of corporate providers. It is a term for the education of those who choose not to attend the schools, colleges and Universities of the world but study at their home or sometimes their work place. Information Communication Technology (ICT) on the other hand is generally regarded as the superhighway through which information is transmitted and shared easily by people all over the world for the purpose of learning and teaching. This study examines how distance education through information communication technology can enhance workersοΏ½ productivity for the development of a virile and highly sustainable economically independent society. It equally intends to explicate and give a critical examination of distance learning and teaching vis-a-vis Information Communication Technology and their relevance to workersοΏ½ productivity in the development of a developing nation.
