“…Studies on the impact of COVID-19 in Nigeria have majorly focused on psycho-social and economic effects as well as the health implication of the pandemic on the populace (Edomah & Ndulue, 2020;Mogaji, 2020;Ahmed et al, 2020;Itasanmi, et al, 2020;Adewole & Ajala, 2020;Mukhtar, et al, 2020;Ogaugwu, et al, 2020;Ajide, et al, 2020;Abulude & Abulude, 2020;Durowade, et al, 2020;Olaseni et al,2020;Andam, et al, 2020). Only a few studies in the country (Ogunode, 2020;Ebohon, et al, 2021), assessed the impact of COVID-19 on education. For instance, Ogunode (2020) examined the effect of COVID-19 on education from the perspective of teachers and senior secondary students in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja, Nigeria.…”

The outbreak of COVID-19 and its impact on learning globally cannot be overemphasized. Specifically, the pandemic severely affected adult learning and these further compounded issues bedeviling literacy promotion, especially in developing nations like Nigeria. This study assessed the impact of COVID-19 on adult learning and the place of technologies in facilitating adult learning in Nigeria. A qualitative research method through the lens of the interpretive paradigm was adopted for this study. The study is underpinned by the Theory of Andragogy and the Technology Acceptance Model. An in-depth interview with forty-six adult literacy facilitators across selected states in the country forms the participants of the study. The interview transcript was analyzed using a thematic framework. Findings revealed amongst others that COVID-19 impaired adult learning significantly in Nigeria. There exists a strong belief among literacy facilitators in the country that technologies can be used as an instructional delivery mechanism for learners in adult literacy programmes. Thus, radio, television, and mobile phone ranked 1st, 2nd, and 3rd respectively among suggested technological tools to facilitate adult learning in Nigeria. Based on the findings, it was suggested that there is a need for literacy stakeholders in the country to rethink adult literacy delivery modalities beyond the traditional approach. Also, it is suggested that enabling environment should be provided and familiar technologies such as radio, television and mobile phones should be used with adequate guidance and encouragement to improve learners’ access and participation in literacy programmes. While technology is not the silver bullet that will solve obstacles facing access to and participation in adult literacy programmes, there is a need to explore opportunities in the use of technologies to facilitate adult learning in Nigeria.

“…Only about 23% of countries in sub-Saharan Africa combine online and broadcast media platforms while only 11% rely exclusively on online platforms to engage their learners. Though some state governments in Nigeria such as Lagos, Ogun, Osun, Ondo and Ekiti introduced television and radio teaching and learning platforms, a larger number (70%) could not meet up with the learning needs of their students, as the socio-economic status of most parents, the high cost of data and the epileptic state of electricity supply in the country constituted a barrier for many students to access the platform maximally (Henry and Agbadi, 2020;Ogunode, 2020). Teaching via the radio that seems to have a wider coverage compared to other outlets has its challenges because not all the subjects can be effectively taught due to learner's state of mind, their different learning environments, students' learning styles, and the time taken to understand what is being transmitted.…”

This research-based paper aimed at assessing the impact of COVID-19 on teaching and learning in public secondary schools in South-West Nigeria. It described the socio-demographic characteristics of the respondents; assessed COVID-19 prevalence in the schools; examined its impact on teaching and learning; examined alternative teaching and learning strategies (ATLS) employed; identified teachers' challenges in using the ATLS; and determined ATLS effectiveness in the schools. Building on the transformative learning theory, a descriptive survey research design and the multi-stage sampling procedure were employed to select a sample of 930 respondents (30 principals, 300 senior school teachers, and 600 students of Grade 11 and Grade 12 classes) for the study. Data were collected using a 5-point-Likert scale questionnaire with Cronbach's alpha reliability coefficient of 0.86. Data were analyzed with descriptive statistics and weighted means. The results showed the prevalence of COVID-19 with negative impact on students who did not have access to traditional face-to-face classroom learning, while virtual online classes limited the subjects usually taught. The ATLS employed are TV & Radio, Zoom, Google Classroom, WhatsApp Group, Microsoft Team and Google Chat, and teachers' challenges in using ATLS include: unequal access to ICT-based learning, and lack of Internet facilities and connectivity, and they were not effective. It was concluded that the outbreak of the COVID-19 impacted negatively on teaching and learning in public secondary schools in South-West Nigeria, and appropriate online strategies should be provided to address this challenge.
