1.2 STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
The outbreak of covid-19 has
resulted to many effect on the educational system/plans of Nigeria
Tertiary Institutions. Students studying in all over the globe traveled
back to their countries due to the covid-19 pandemic. This pandemic
affected countries negatively in different ways because students
studying abroad were discouraged to continue their studies and many
planning to study abroad could not achieve their plans because countries
placed a ban on inter-country travel.
The Academic calendar of
higher institutions in Nigeria were disrupted due to covid-19. Ogunode
(2020) observed that the closure of all educational institutions from
primary schools to the higher institutions would affect the students’
academic plans and programme.
Many conferences on different programme
that are planned for the first and second quarter of 2020 was canceled
due to the pandemic. New discovery and new findings in the educational
sectors for this period were reduced because many higher institutions in
Nigeria have not fully integrate ICT into teaching and learning
programme across the country. According to Wikipedia (2020) the 2019–20
coronavirus pandemic has affected educational systems worldwide, leading
to the widespread closures of schools and universities. As at 3 April
2020, over 421 million learners were out of school due to school
closures in response to covid-19. According to UNESCO monitoring, over
200 countries implemented nationwide closures, impacting about 98% of
the world's student population on 23 March 2020.
