Like many affected countries of the world, the Federal government of Nigeria has taken several necessary precautionary measures to curtail the spread of the disease. This has led to the suspension of all educational activities especially in-class teaching and learning processes. This paper studied the state of education in Nigeria and the effort of government towards continuous education in comparison to the measures put in place by other developing countries during the COVID-19 pandemic. The paper equally reviewed five different available and popular online learning platforms that can be implemented by the government to provide start-up educational programs that would help to keep students on course by learning remotely from home throughout the period of Covid- 19 pandemic. These include Distance Learning, Social media, Virtual Classroom, M-Learning, and Flipped classroom. Implementation of these online forms of education will successfully offer alternatives and ensure continuous education presently and in the future. The recommendations of this study would be useful even for other developing countries that are yet to discover any alternative to the disrupted inclass learning activities so that their students will start to learn from home.  \nKeywords: COVID-19, Coronavirus, open and distance learning, social media, virtual classroom, mobile learning, flipped classroom  \nINTRODUCTION  \nSince the outbreak of an acute respiratory disease caused by Coronavirus Sars-Cov-2 from Wuhan, Hubei province in China in December 2019, the World Health Organisation (WHO) as a matter of international concern declared the disease a global public health emergency that poses threat to the social coexistence,  \nFigure 1.

This is because of its obvious impact on all aspects of human activities which has caused a difficult time for the global community throughout the first quarter of year 2020 (Akwa & Maingi, 2020; Demuyakor, 2020) .  \nThus, many countries across the globe have responded seriously in a cooperative effort to fight the pandemic (WHO, 2020a, 2020b; World Bank, 2020) . Coronavirus is a serious health problem that requires cooperation and precautionary measures to be taken to stop the spread of the virus. According to Fong et al. (2020), countries worldwide have taken measures such as declaring a state of emergency, improving medical provision, minimizing mass gathering, closing borders, recreational centres, schools, libraries, businesses, religious and sporting activities, also enforcing strict city surveillance, individual quarantines and building large-scale isolations centres. On the other hand, COVID-19 awareness and sensitisation programs were also mediums adopted by some governments.
