The closure of schools, colleges, and universities by the Federal and State government was an urgent need of the current situation which prevailed in most States in Nigeria. Nigerian Government started taking preventive decisions on COVID-19 just after WHO recognized it as a pandemic disease. However, the shutdown of most schools and colleges in Lagos, Kano and FCT, in which the Academic year was interrupted, has tremendous effect on the academic syllabus. Schools had to concentrate on scheduling their final exams before the lockdown commencement. The affected schools and institutions had to cancel or reschedule exam dates, and other school activities, so as to cortile the spread of the virus.
