Chief Wole Olanipekun, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria , has said that Nigeria must embrace e-learning for educational development amid the coronavirus pandemic.
At the event, Olanipekun unveiled Prof. Timothy Adebayo as the new VC to succeed Prof. Dapo Asaju by end of October. “I think by now, the federal and state government ought to have learnt that COVID-19 has come. We pray that it shall not come to stay. But again, nobody can foretell what tomorrow has in stock.
The governing council chairman recalled the efforts of the university at ensuring its students concluded their classes and examinations virtually. He said that their teachers and students were not on campus, adding they related and interfaced virtually. “They have not been teaching. They have been on vacation. They have left the campuses. There is no relationship between the teachers and the student,” he said.
“Let us have African thinking, principles, training, morality and see how we can make progress. In the days of our fathers were they not building,” he said.
