The University of Ibadan, Ibadan in Oyo State has directed
its faculties to begin online classes.
The University noted that this is necessary following the
series of deaths that have been recorded as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Recall that the university had earlier suspended
all its physical lectures due to COVID-19.
The university had a few months ago suspended the online
classes after physical classes were resumed.
The university has, however, said that it has directed its
faculties to consider some courses to be taught online.
The institution warned that it would begin full online
classes for the 2020/2021 academic session if the situation does not improve.
Registrar of the institution, Olubunmi Faluyi, in a
statement made available on Monday, also noted that arrangement
has been made to get vaccines for staff and students.
“This is to inform the University community that Management
has requested the Faculties to identify the courses to be taught online and
those to be taught physically en route to the commencement of the blended mode
of teaching and learning for the remaining part of the second semester of the
2020/2021 session.
“The Emergency Remote Teaching Committee (ERTC), in its
proposal to the Committee of Provosts and Deans (CoPD), in a meeting, held on
the 11th August 2021, had noted and recommended as follows:
“With the daily rising cases of the Delta variant of
Covid-19, and with several cases within the main and the College of
Medicine/UCH campuses, the ERTC considered a proposal of blended teaching for
the second-semester lectures in the University.
“Management should note the poor compliance with COVID-19
protocols by the entire University community and should ensure strict
compliance through the University’s Covid- 19 Committee.
“If the situation worsens on campus, full online engagement
should be mounted for all courses as was done in the first semester, exempting only
departments and units with special needs with the condition that evident strict
compliance with the protocols will be observed.
“Arrangements are ongoing to make vaccines available for all
staff and students as soon as possible. Details will be provided as more
progress is made.
“In the meantime, we all need to take personal
responsibility for our safety by obeying all COVID-19 safety protocols.
If we do this, there will be no cause for panic on our
campus.”
