The purpose of this study was to examine the extent to which e-learning delivery platforms were utilized to improve teaching/learning during Covid-19 lockdown in Private Universities in South-South Nigeria. To achieve this, three specific objectives and three research questions were asked to guide the study. An expost facto survey design was adopted for the study. The study was conducted in South-South Nigeria. The population consisted of 4305 students of five private universities in South-South Nigeria. A sample size of 366 was selected using the Taro Yamane formula and a cluster sampling technique was used for the study. An instrument titled “Utilization of E-learning Platform for teaching/Learning during the Covid-19 Lockdown Questionnaire” (UEPTLDCOVID19LQ) was used for the study. The finding of the study shows that Private Universities utilized e-learning facilities during the Covid-19 lockdown because they had the facilities to do so.
