Don’t Reopen Schools Now, FG Warn States

The Federal Government of Nigeria, on Monday warned states considering reopening of schools to not go on with such plan.

According to FG, the current situation of Covid-19 does not in any way support such initiative.

Speaking during a daily briefing in Abuja, Chairman of the Presidential Task Force, PTF on Covid-19, Boss Mustapha said that the reopening of schools at this critical time amounts to exposing the general public to more danger.

“We get report 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.
