Most academic programmes provided by higher institutions of learning in Nigeria, including universities and other tertiary institutions have indicated that open and distance learning (ODL) can contribute significantly towards quality of education. This paper examined student’s attitudes and perceptions towards the effectiveness and quality of religious education in open and distance learning Nigeria. The paper used survey design, which involves the use of interview, questionnaire and secondary sources. Data were collected using descriptive analysis and percentages arranged in table forms to assess the attitudes and perceptions of students towards the effectiveness and quality of religious education programme in open and distance learning in Nigeria. Findings have shown a high percentage of students enrolled in open and distance learning programmes tend to drop out before reaching the completion stage. The implications of these findings include the mindset of students about open and distance learning, less motivation and non-social life. The paper therefore, recommended quality assurance, motivation for students and provision of social activities for the students to effectively perform in the open and distance learning.
