A teacher from a public school in Nigeria is helping students across the country, and internationally, learn maths virtually during coronavirus restrictions that have prevented many children from returning to class.

Basirat Olamide Ajayi, 36, from Lagos, Nigeria’s biggest city, said the lockdown has shown just how much technology can be used as a tool for teaching.
