National Universities Commission (NUC) has begun the collection of data to assess the readiness of all universities for a possible resumption date for academic activities amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
Executive secretary of the Commission, Abubakar Adamu Rasheed disclosed this on Tuesday in Abuja while briefing newsmen on the ongoing contributions of Nigerian universities to national response to COVID-19.
Represented by Deputy Executive Secretary Academics, Dr Suleiman Ramon Yusuf, the NUC boss stated that efforts are also ongoing in finding solution to Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) strike and reopening of universities.
You will recall that last week, NUC released a statement urging all Universities to submit prepared documents showing their readiness to comply with COVID-19 safety protocols if the universities should be allowed to resume.
