In finding other means of learning, the Minister of State for Education, Chukwuemeka Nwajiuba, had announced earlier before now, that all students in Nigeria have been granted free access to the following e-learning portals; the schoolgate.ng and the mobileclassroom.com.ng App. It is important that Federal, state and private university vice chancellors should mobilize their lecturers and students to commence lectures using the online platforms the government has provided.



All federal and state university vice chancellors should understand that the Mobile Classroom App is an indigenous mobile application that enables students to learn audio-visually through devices like phones and computers and therefore, should encourage it's usage.

Importantly, all vice chancellors of federal, state and private universities should take note of the above information so that they can relate to their lecturers and students and encourage them to commence lectures using the e-learning platforms.
