    The attendant escalating demand for education at all levels, and the compelling need to provide education for all irrespective of environmental, social or cultural circumstances have meant that the country must of necessity find the most appropriate and cost effective means to respond adequately to the huge unmet demand for education. Thus, this paper presents the implementation of a robust, reliable, efficient, effective, and cost-effective Synchronous Virtual Learning Solution. The Virtual Learning system consists of basically the e-learning portal and a virtual conference room. The e-learning portal was built using PHP server side scripting language, while the conference room was developed by adopting BigBlueButton (an open source video conference server) to facilitate Synchronous communication between the students and the lecturer. The video conference server (BigBlueButton), configured with a live Internet Protocol address was hosted on a dedicated server at the campus network operating center in the University of Ilorin, to enable both onsite and remote users gain access to the e-learning system. The result of its implementation, when tested with both onsite and remote users, proves its feasibility for future deployment
