The information also disclosed that students would make use of ICT tools such as mails, WhatsApp, text messages, and phone calls in learning to avoid overcrowding.
Part of the statement also reads “Students are expected to utilize the handwashing materials provided in designated places in the University to wash their hands properly as they gain entry and depart various places. “Students must comply with social distancing rules.
“Students are advised to strictly observe hostel rules to avoid overcrowding in the hostels.
