In a bid to overcome the challenge of securing appropriate teaching-learning space to cater for its large number of students during the GNS teaching belt as well as adhere to Covid-19 protocols during the pedagogical process, the Centre for General Nigerian Studies (CGNS) has partnered with the Directorate of Information and Communication Technology (DICT) to revitalize the eLearning platform for the teaching and learning of all GNS courses in the University, to complement the physical classes.
The new hybrid teaching-learning format which began on the 1st of February 2022, started with an initial two weeks of physical Course Introduction and Sensitization by lecturers to be followed by 8 weeks of Online Lectures before students come back for another two weeks for physical Course Revision, in batches.
