The Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, Monday, kicked against the reopening of schools by the Federal Government amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

ASUU argued that the government must make resources available in order for schools to meet proposed conditions by the Federal Ministry of Education.

ASUU National President, Prof Biodun Ogunyemi, made this submission known on Monday while speaking with the News Agency of Nigeria, NAN in Ota, Ogun State.

He urged the federal government to provide the ideal environment and meet the conditions spelt out by the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control, NCDC before reopening schools across the country.

Ogunyemi said, “The Federal Government must lead and show the ways by meeting the conditions for reopening of schools before any school can be allowed to open because coronavirus pandemic is a health challenge.

“When it comes to public health, it is something that should not be left in the hands of individuals but the Federal Government must take the lead.”

The ASUU president listed the conditions spelt out by NCDC to include the provision of materials for regular handwashing, provision of face masks, isolations spaces, hands sanitisers, amongst others.

He said many government-owned schools don’t have financial capacities to meet the outlined conditions.

He said, “It is suicidal to reopen schools now if the Federal Government itself could not meet the conditions spelt out by the NCDC and the World Health Organisation. The nation will expose innocent children to avoidable risks.”

Schools across the country were shut in March to curb the spread of the pandemic.

Lazy people
That is why they go on strike often
They like the free pay without work

It's the truth!
There's unexplainable deaths everywhere. Worst, people don't even care, as they think the virus is made up.
