A video of a yet-to-be-identified Nigerian university professor delivering a lecture to an empty classroom has taken the internet by storm.
The lecturer, who is a Professor at the Department of Human Kinetics and Health Education in Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida University, Lapai, Niger State, was filmed addressing an empty classroom on what was meant to be the first day of lectures for the semester.
The video which was posted by a Facebook user, Richard Pius, and has gone viral, was seen by a First News correspondent on Thursday. It captured the professor standing in front of a row of empty seats, calmly explaining that although no students had turned up, he felt it was important to show up and register his presence.

“But I’m happy that Dr Sunday Jonathan who is the course student’s advisor for the department and the quality assurance director for the department as well is around and is witnessing the empty class.
“All the same, I feel I should be around to register my presence.”
