In a statement by the public relations officer of the institution, Samuel Ojo, online lectures for all students woul begin today.

The Deputy Rector (Academics), Sunday Lawson, who spoke on behalf of the Rector, Mr Adebola Gani Ogundahunsi, during an orientation programme organised for deans, heads of departments and supervisors of part-time programmes, said the idea of e-learning becomes so pertinent in a bid to cultivate the online learning culture and keep students and lecturers engaged due to the shutdown of schools occasioned by COVID-19 pandemic.

He added that participants are enjoined to cooperate with the management of the institution to make it viable.

On his part, the Director of ICT, Mr. Olusegun Adeoni, showcased the mechanism and functionality of the e-learning portal to participants, noting that it would afford lecturers and students to carry out academic activities without stress.
