The federal government said no date has been set for school resumption across the country, despite the fact that President Buhari last Monday announced the gradual easing of lockdy in Lagos, FTS and Ogun. This information was voiced by Minister of State Chukwuemek Nvadzuba on Tuesday in Abuja at the 21st joint national briefing of the Presidential Task Force (PTF) on COVID-19.

It is certain that reopening of school this year is in probability, because the rate of the confirmed cases of COVID19 rises to the top day-by-day, so it is not advisable and inconvenient to fix a date for the opening of school, because we can't risk the lives of our students when we no how to prevent it, for it is said "prevention is better than cure" Let us take an imaginary illustration when just one student carries Coronavirus to the school, it is paramount that almost all the students will be affected, then each of the candidate goes home transferring the disease to the family members then to the neighbors. Scanning through the circle of transmission you will agree to the decision of the F.G.

According to him, the federal Ministry of Education cannot tell the date when schools can resume national education. He also mentioned that the West African Examination Council (WAEC) did not cancel its CSCE in May / June, as students would still have to go and get them when the government is confident that students are no longer threatened by the virus.

According to him, “The federal government is not ready to put children at risk by opening schools. “The president actually dealt with the issue of opening the economy gradually. Until this is done, we cannot predict or immediately tell you when all schools will be open. “It would be wrong for us to just date you. It should be in tandem with these opening conditions. We do not want to put our children at risk. None of these schools can function independently without society.

“Regarding the issue of moving children to the next class, these exams will take place when we make sure that the children have learned what they need to move. “For those studying in the outgoing classes of primary and secondary schools, we will prepare them and will continue. “This will continue until we are sure that they are equipped for external exams. “The West African Examination Council has not abolished its external exams. It was postponed indefinitely.

“This vague nature is such that we can get a certain date. Students will still need to take these exams when we are confident that we have taken care of the students. ”
