The Federal Government has issued a strong warning to states over reopening of schools across the country.
Some states had hinted that it will reopen schools soon.
Cross River State Governor, Ben Ayade had last week ordered the gradual reopening of schools across the state.
Ayade had directed that public schools in the state should resume on June 16, 2020.
However, speaking on Monday, Boss Mustapha, Chairman of the Presidential Task Force (PTF) on COVID-19 said the current situation of coronavirus did not in any way support such initiative.
According to him, reopening of schools at this critical time could expose the general public to more danger.
“We got reports that some states are considering reopening of schools, viewing centres and other gatherings that encourage large crown, such step is not encouraging at this moment.
“PTF is emphasising that it’s not yet safe to do so. We need to be cautious and adhere to the PTF guideline.”

Covid is real.. Might not be as high as the figures dished out daily though.. But caution is key, even better and we’ll prepared countries are still thinking of what works before opening schools in Europe or North America.. Just cause students feel tired being at home isn’t a reason, protection of lives and property is key in governance
Federal government should reopen schools for universities, polythenics, colleges for learning with social distance nd PPE wears.
After three weeks of reopening nd checking if the schools re following instructions, then if ok we can now call secondary schools to reopen base on class but primary should wait when it is safer before reopening,
FG can not give us PPE wears but We can buy individual, they should just open interstate nd give us permission, we all know there is no corona in Nigeria because we all sick Maleria nd thyroid with cold, FG should know we re not stupid like them.
Federal government na scam
Corona na FG scam
God bless Nigerians with wisdom.
