The Son of Man didn’t come to be served. But to serve, and to offer His life as a ransom for several .” -Matthew 20:28.

Easter may be a period of renewal, change, growth and covenants kept. We hope you renew yourselves in hope, strength in God and have faith that this Corona Virus Disease (COVID-19) pandemic are going to be over soon.

This year’s celebration of Easter is happening at a time that the country and therefore the remainder of the planet have had to affect a really difficult pandemic that features a negative effect on our academics and economy and has caused the death of thousands of individuals worldwide.

We must, therefore, be prepared and willing to form sacrifices to reposition our academic and economy.

Embrace virtual education – GRASAG GIMPA to students

We urge you all to recollect in your prayers, friends and family.

Who lost their lives or businesses and people who are hospitalized due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Easter period has also come at a time our academic institutions have suspended classroom teaching and learning thanks to the COVID-19 pandemic which has resulted in additional virtual teaching and learning.

Let us seize the chance and cash in of online teaching and learning and adapt thereto . Virtual teaching and learning is that the wave of the longer term – the benefits are beyond the coronavirus.

We further believe online teaching and learning may be a possible solution to widen access to education at a reasonable cost and bridges capacity gaps.

The flexibility of online delivery enables people to figure and study simultaneously.

Thereby making degrees cheaper and more manageable for a greater range of scholars .

We are therefore calling on tertiary institutions to undergird and embrace e-learning. It could help institutions get more students and extend the frontiers of learning to people that would ordinarily not are ready to attend.

Let us all use this occasion so far another opportunity for promoting the virtues of excellent brotherliness, peace, harmony and tolerance. allow us to stand firmly together in common humanity as we invite the great Lord’s continued protection and blessings.

Finally, we involve ideas which will help the govt improve its response to the present pandemic and encourage all to stay practising social distancing and wash their hands regularly following expert advice.

We wish you all happy Easter celebrations.
