Abstract
The outbreak of COVID-19 has negative impact on the entire educational institutions in the world. Many countries including Nigeria adhered to the rules of curbing the pandemic by shutting down their economy and the educational institutions to curtail the spread of the virus. This decision led to closure of all educational activities globally including Nigeria. This article centers on the impact of COVID-19 on educational institutions in Nigeria. Secondary data was used to support the points raised in the article. The secondary data used for the publication were sourced from online and print materials. The article identified the following: suspension of internal and external examinations, disruption of academic programmes, suspension of admission of new students at all levels of the educational system, suspension of teaching and learning activities, research programme, cancellation of conferences and proceeds, suspension of internal examination, loss of manpower in the educational institutions. To continue with teaching and learning in the mist of the COVID-19 in the Nigerian educational institutions, the article hereby recommends the following: strict adherence to COVID-19 Presidential Tasks Force (PTF) and Nigerian Center for Disease Control (NCDC) stipulated rules by all educational institutions on resumption of academic activities, increase budgetary allocation and prompt response to funding of educational institutions across the country
