NDU is the Bayelsa State-owned university in Wilberforce Island, Amasoma, Southern Ijaw Local Government Area of the state.

Over the weekend, the NDU had gone to radio stations to announce the resumption of academic activities. A copy of the announcement signed by the Registrar of the university, Tonbra Morris-Odubo, claimed that the institution had opened for academic activities since October 14.
