Kwara State University (KWASU) Vice Chancellor Seeks / Advocates Immediate Resumption of all Tertiary Institutions Nationwide.
The Vice-Chancellor of the Kwara State University (KWASU) Malete, Professor Mohammed Akanbi is seeking for the immediate reopening of all schools and tertiary institutions.He says no Nigerian University can survive beyond this year without reopening them.
Professor Akanbi spoke at an interactive session with journalists in Ilorin, the Kwara state capital.
He said what is most important is for the students to strictly follow the COVID-19 safety protocols instead of sitting perpetually at home.
All schools were closed in March because of the COVID-19 pandemic while those in secondary school exit classes have resumed writing their final examinations.
Some schools have been supporting online teaching and exams, but we can never compare physical learning online.
The pandemic has posed a challenge to us, it is affecting private universities. Some of them are sacking workers presently. We are currently at home because of the covid-19 and government directive. If you ask me now I will tell you that the universities should be reopened immediately”, he said.
On preparedness of the institution towards resumption, he said “we are already fumigating our facilities, both in Malete and Ilorin. We have been doing online lectures for classes with a large number of students. For those with sizable numbers we have made plans to maintain physical distancing of two feet as recommended and also divide some into other lecture classes.
The KWASU Vice-Chancellor says the experiment should equally pave the way for phased reopening of higher institutions starting with final year undergraduates.
