The National Open University of Nigeria which started in the early 1980s was closed down a few years later, until 2001 when then President Obasanjo reopened the institution.
It currently has over 300,000 active students across the country.
Mahama who chaired the inaugural ceremony challenged the Centre to research into new and emerging developmental issues and how these can affect governance, democracy and the development of African countries.
He said Nigeria has nothing to fear from Ghana or Cote D'Ivoire in an integrated sub-region.
