· Recommend virtual learning, preventive measures
Gboyega Akinsanmi
With the rising incidence of COVID-19 infection, lecturers, parents and students have expressed anxiety and apprehension over a directive of the National Universities Commission (NUC) that all public universities should resume on January 18.
Consequently, they have warned the federal government, especially the NUC, against directing all public universities to resume without putting in place adequate measures to curtail the rate of COVID-19 contagion among lecturers and students.
In separate interviews with THISDAY on Friday, they urged the federal government to adopt e-learning or virtual learning to teach students rather than exposing them to graver health hazards.
