This study covers some selected Universities in Ogun state Nigeria. The Universities are Tai Solarin University of Education and Olabisi Onabanjo University Ago-Iwoye Ogun state. In order to contain the spread of the virus in Nigeria the Federal Ministry of Education has directed all educational institutions in Nigeria to shut down and allow students to go home as cases of reported COVID-19 increases. COVID-19 pandemic has brought drastic changes and interruption in the educational sector which serves as a medium of development as need arises. However educational sector in most nations is dwindling towards e-learning programme in order to address the effect of corona virus. Hence with the Nigeria experience the country is facing the obstacle of moving from the traditional teaching method to the e-learning programme during the pandemic. In recommendation the government should take adequate measure by increasing the funding of tertiary institutions to enable the institutions to embark on viable research works that would proffer solutions to COVID-19 pandemic
