“Any lecturer in the National Open University of Nigeria who failed to interact with their students via online facilitation should either look for a College of Education to go and teach or resign and start selling foodstuff in the market,” he said.
He said that NOUN by its foundational philosophy and mode of operation was not supposed to be hindered in discharging its responsibilities amidst the lockdown, if its lecturers were committed to work, adding that the activities of all academic staff of the institution would be monitored and erring lecturers would be sanctioned accordingly.
