So many people have been complaining about the total lockdown of schools, businesses, supermarket, places of worship.


Earlier today been may 28, the Federal Government has issued an official statement guidelines on reopening of schools across all states of the country.
According to the Chairman of the Presidential Task Force on COVID-19 and the Secretary to the Government of Federation, Mr. Boss Mustapha, highlighted this during his press briefing today.
The Honourable Minister of Education had disregarded the rumour on social media that schools are expected to resume on the 8th June, 2020. Professor Adamu Adamu further stated that, it is certain schools will be resuming soon but the actual date has not been fixed.

Here are some of the guidelines the federal government has given in case the need of Re-opening school Nationwide arise:
1) Schools might be directed to divide the learning sessions into Morning and Afternoon
2) those who attend the morning class won't be attending the afternoon class.
3) he said there is possibility that different arms of classes resume in batches whereby lower basic and upper basics go to school on different days.
4) he said each student will be mandated to use face mask to school, observe social distances in their sitting arrangement.
5) he said all schools will be instructed to make a running tap water with hand sanitizers available at the entrance of the school and at the entrance of all the class rooms.
6) lastly, he said extra curricular activities such as inter house sport, debate, competitionswill be suspended to curb the spread of this Coronavirus.

This is no good news but doing the needful which is allowing school activities to kick off ....
These kids are loosing alot when they stay at home for more than three months

this is still a very risky time to reopen schools. we should wait till the coast is sufficiently clear. the lives of students should not be put in danger

as long as the kids are alive and safe, they can always regain whatever it is they are seemingly losing.

You spoke well.

the coast won't be sufficiently clear anytime soon. the solution to covid-19 is vaccine and it won't be available anytime soon. should we keep the children at home for 1 or more years because we want the coast to be sufficiently clear?

the only solution is adaptation.

Govt should put strick and workable measures in place and send the children back to school under strict monitoring and compliance.


Education is as important as food. even during War, some still find a way to get education. obviously, E-learning would have helped but our educational system hasn't grown to that level yet. not every parent can afford a smart phone. let's think of ways forward... corona would be around longer than you think.

Yes, students should be kept at home for as long as it takes for the coast to be sufficiently clear or till such a time when we are able to put in place measures that will guarantee their safety in school (putting all necessary factors into consideration). You simply need to realize the simple truth that safety(life) is far more essential than education.
I disagree with you that education is as important as food. It's no rocket science to know that while you can do without education for years (without any real consequence), you can only do without food for a few days. What has happened to the students because they've not been going to school for the past two months to learn ABC or 123 or even calculus?
In war, you think of safety first before any other thing. So the way forward is to first find a cure or vaccine for the virus.

SMH! This virus is a fcking scam..even a blind man can see it's a big scam in this country..
Why keep children at home, when other sectors of the economy are fully operational..
How do you expect private school teachers to survive? I have a friend who is a private school teacher..he's barley surviving

I'm shaking my head vigorously at this your comment: it lacks substance. So the lives of millions of students should be put in jeopardy so that some private school teachers can survive? Abba!
I'm not sure whether or not the virus is a scam in Nigeria, but from what is being reported in other countries (e.g over 100k people dead in USA alone and close to 2million infected) I think the virus is serious and should not be taken for granted.
