Abstract

The global world woke up facing the reality of the COVID-19 pandemic but where is Nigeria tertiary institutions in virtual learning at the face of this pandemic and after. This study discusses the need for the adoption and implementation of virtual learning in Nigerian tertiary institutions. Recommendations to adopt virtual learning during and post COVID-19 were also discussed. An exploratory qualitative research method was used to explore what constitutes virtual learning and the need for its implementation in Nigeria. Educational loss cannot be statistically estimated during a global shut down because of its social value as would be accounted for in decline in humanity and economy. In primary and secondary institutions, and to higher institutions, there is a complete stoppage of the face-to-face method of teaching and learning due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The seeming fire brigade approach interventions being deployed in some States result from no initial functional learning applications on the ground. The unscientific mode of content delivery in many institutions of learning is outdated even in a dynamic world and moving to the G-5 technology.
