This paper examines the challenges and the way forward of teaching Hausa Language through e-learning in tertiary institutions in Nigeria. Electronic learning (e-learning) is a product of information and communication technology (ICT) which has affected human life since its emergence in the early 90s. Online learning and particularly online resources can catch the attention of even the most passive learner. Also, e-learning offers a favourable external environment for Hausa Language teaching and learning. The researcher discussed the need for Hausa Language education through e-learning in Nigeria and one of the recommendations given is that computer literacy training programmes for Hausa language teachers and adequate information technology facilities should be provided for tertiary academic institutions for effective teaching and learning of Hausa Language through e-learning to be reliable and feasible for both the teachers and the learners of Hausa language in Nigerian tertiary institutions.
