Abstract
This study was aimed at finding factors affecting the adoption of online learning in teaching and learning during covid-19 pandemic among teachers and students in Nigeria: a study of Prince Abubakar Audu University, Anyigba. Data for this study was collected through the use of four likart scale questionnaire consisting of 27 items. A sample of 120 subjects were drawn for the study from eight faculties in Prince Abubakar Audu University, Anyigba. Four research questions and four research hypotheses were answered and tested respectively. The research questions were answered with a descriptive mean statistic while the hypotheses were tested with chi-square statistics at 0.05 level of significance. The result of the findings showed that devices to participate in online learning as well as data, internet facilities were hindrances towards the online learning. Electricity was also a major factor that militate against the success of online learning. It is recommended based on these findings that school management and government should provide internet facilities and data as well as subsidized laptops to students for effective and enhanced internet services for online learning.
