This paper examined the efficacy of learning the law in a digitalised world employing the Nigerian NUC-CCMAS methodology. The emergence of digital technologies has impacted significantly on global socio-economic development. The fact that the world is described as a ‘global village’ underscores the importance of countries in the spectrum to step up to the surging demand for digitalisation. The paper employed the doctrinal research approach in examining the relevant legal framework for digitalisation, to wit, National Information Technology Development Agency Act 2007, National Universities Commission Act 1974, and Education (National Minimum Standards and Establishment of Institutions) Act 1985. The paper found that the regulatory agency, NITDA, in keeping with its powers to create a National Digital Literacy Framework, recorded success and further embarked on a project of achieving 95% of digital literacy by 2030. Whether or not this vision is achievable remains to be seen. The paper also highlighted the mandate of the NUC—to ensure proper quality control of all academic programmes within the Nigerian University System, which it implemented through different working instruments, the extant being the CCMAS document. Regrettably, tertiary institutions in Nigeria have been moving at snail speed in meeting up with the labour market’s increasing demands for digitalisation. The paper recommended that the Federal and State Governments provide well-organised support grants to students in tertiary institutions for acquisition of electronic learning devices. Universities’ Management should likewise ensure a transition to digital learning through constant power supply and the provision of projectors in all lecture halls.
