Abstract: Like most countries, Nigeria implemented a lock-down policy restricting all movements except for essential services and functions in order to contain the COVID-19 virus. COVID-19 pandemic is one of such crises that seem to have brought unprecedented emergencies in the education sector. Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, the countrys education sector has been considered fragile and fraught with inequality in access to schooling and learning experiences. Access to digital tools and equipment, particularly portable ones like smartphones, tablets or laptops, and the Internet, which served as an alternative learning platform during the lockdown, were relatively low before the pandemic.
