    Covid-19 Lockdown: Strategic Implications of Elusive Learning Curve As Universities Run Virtual Classes.
    (LAPAI JOURNAL OF MANAGEMENT SCIENCE, 2020-10-30) Samuel Ayodele Majekodunmi; Abu, Z
    This study centers on Virtual Learning (VL) being implemented by Nigerian universities on directives of Federal Ministry of Education (FME) as reactive approach to COVID-19 Lockdown. Paradoxically, in pre-COVID-19 pandemic times, National University Commission (NUC) concedes, undergraduate applicants exceed available spaces, however, NUC refused to plug the gap through approval of Nigerian universities to run online courses. The foregoing, triggers intention to investigate whether granting Nigerian universities mandate to implement VL in pre-COVID-19 pandemic era, would have given Nigerian universities learning curve advantages during COVID-19 pandemic. The study adopts qualitative research design. Evidences in support of research argument were harnessed from secondary sources. Where applicable, Appendixes were adapted for qualitative analysis. Findings show that: starting VL while COVID-19 pandemic is already raging is a reactive disposition; there were needs for VL in Nigeria, years before incursion of COVID-19 pandemic; Nigerian universities would have amassed experience in operationalization of VL, provided NUC had given Nigerian universities nod on VL long before COVID-19 Lockdown. This study concludes, learning curve eludes Nigerian universities in implementation of VL during COVID-19 pandemic. The study offers recommendations: NUC needs to grant Nigerian universities mandate to run online based degrees henceforth. FME has to craft policy to legitimize certificate from online based course. National Youth Service Corps should recognize graduates of online courses. Nigeria universities should adopt proactive strategies in post-COVID-19 pandemic. Organizations should focus social responsibilities toward supporting Nigerian universities during and after COVID-19 pandemic.
