When the Federal Government ordered for immediate shut down of schools in March because of the ravaging Coronavirus, many students were very happy and immediately returned to their various homes, hoping that schools will resume soon.
It's clear that many are tired of staying at home and want to return to their various campuses, while those not in school want to get themselves engaged in something productive.
In this article, I will be examining productive things students can do while waiting for the Federal Government to order for reopening of schools. This will also help other youths who have nothing doing at the moment.

Learn To Communicate Online:
There are still students that don't know how to establish a good and healthy communication online. Some feel shy while others insult even their elders because they feel that the Internet is just a place to dish out insults to people.
