Hello Everyone!

A couple of days ago, the government announced a lockdown in three states (Abuja, Lagos and Ogun) to limit the spread of the coronavirus. This restriction has forced many of us to sit at home- postponing travels and even closing down non-essential businesses.

Staying at home can be nice but after some time, it can also become tedious and restricting. On the bright side, it might be an opportunity to learn a new language; read that book you’ve been wanting to read for a long time; learn that new skill or enroll in a new course.

Coursera is offering free classes from now to May 31, 2020, to support online education for those under lockdown. Many courses are from universities, like Stanford, Yale, and the University of Pennsylvania.

Below are the list of the free courses:
