The Federal Government on Tuesday said plans are underway to teach students in tertiary institutions via the Nigeria Television Authority (NTA) and the Federal Radio Corporation of Nigeria (FRCN) as lockdown continues in the country.
Minister of Education, Adamu Adamu, made this known while making remarks at the COVID-19 Presidential Task Force (PTF) briefing in Abuja.
Adamu said, “Some of my tertiary institutions are already giving their lessons, some online, and the ministry is working with the Nigeria Television Authority and the FRCN to start giving lectures, not just because of COVID-19, I hope this would become a permanent feature of our education system.
“Lessons would be given online. Last time I met with the vice-chancellors, I even talked to the press and told them I have directed institutions of higher learning to start thinking of giving people lessons where they are.
“I am also aware that there are some private institutions who are already giving lessons online.”
