Some parents who spoke to news agency of Nigeria NAN in separate interviews agree that, it was important for the federal government to continue to safeguard children from the pandemic.

NAN reported that the Federal Government on Wednesday said that it was considering reopening of schools based on morning and afternoon shifts method.

The minister of State for education, Emeka Nwajuiba made the disclosure during a briefing by the presidential task force on covid19.

A civil servant even said, there is no need of considering any morning and evening classes for now; let the children continue to stay safe at home as the virus is increasing everyday. Children will naturally not be as cautious as adults; schools cannot be compared to markets.

Nigerians should stop putting pressure on government to reopen schools. We need to be patient,” Aina said.

A businessman, Mr Kayode Jacob, who resides at Iyana-Ipaja, said that governments should not consider reopening primary schools at the moment. According to him, doing so at the moment would be dangerous.

“ University and secondary schools students can be cautioned. They can observe social distancing and other precautions, but these will be difficult for nursery and primary school pupils.

“ The lives of our children should be paramount because they are the leaders of tomorrow,” Jacob said. (NAN)
