The global of impact of education is gradually influencing the tertiary institutions in Nigeria. Developing an adaptable model or design that will enhance learning is imperative. The educational system in Nigeria is adjudged to static, conventional and obsolete, because it is operated in traditional teacher centre approach. This paradigm view cannot remain unattended because the world in moving towards robotic environment. Beside, education is becoming more smart and innovative; every single nation is peculiarizing their system to accommodate local operation. Thus, Nigeria cannot lag behind in this 21st century. Smart and innovative learning gadgets or system will afford students the privilege to learn fast, quick and from anywhere possible. Thus the paper focuses on designing smart and innovative learning education system in Nigerian tertiary institutions. Descriptive Narrative textual Case Study approach was adopted. Thus the paper based its qualitative secondary discourse. Institutional restructuring ranging from religious, academic, business and government were the attention and focus areas of many governments in the last two years due to the COVID-19 epidemic disease that has affected the entire global economy with specific challenges facing humanity at large. This paper discussed information on designs that can foster better educational institutions in a challenging era in Nigeria. Issues such as smart innovative learning and designs, smart learning system, smart education, students engagement strategies, online academic circles were discussed. The paper concluded that smart and innovative educational teaching and learning strategies are no easy feat, because it places institutions, government and the end user out of their comfort zone, especially in financial obligations. However, experimenting new methods and strategies improves students’ engagement, motivation and attainment and is a win-win direction for both students and the system. The paper suggested among others that Government should show genuine concerns in developing the pedagogical practices and structures to meet the best global standard in the 21st century and that an academic smart and innovative master plan should be developed as a driven focus in the 21st.
