The research identifies ongoing COVID-19 implications on students and the schools as; learning losses and increased inequality, internet connection problems, increased pressure on schools and school system, increased school dropouts, unequalled access to learning due to lack of access to digital learning portals and additional pressure on teachers to acquire digital knowledge update. All these affected proper assessment negatively. The research design include; library information, interview and participatory observation. The research concludes by noting that assessment if properly used can help mitigate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on educational system in Nigeria. It can encourage innovations and flexibility. Thus, the work encourages further discussions among educators, researchers, policy makers and the general public to work towards making sure educational assessments are part of a system to further teaching and learning especially online and to further the pursuit of equity.
