The Federal Government has put on hold the
planned resumption of federal schools, The
PUNCH reports.

It has also stopped students from participating
in the West African Senior School Certificate
Examinations earlier scheduled for August 4 to
September 5.

The Minister of Education, Adamu Adamu,
disclosed this to State House Correspondents at
the end of a meeting of the Federal Executive
Council presided over by the President, Major
General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.).

The minister said federal schools would remain
closed until it is safe to reopen them.

He also urged state governments that have
announced school resumption plans to rescind
such.

Adamu stated that the West African
Examinations Council cannot determine the
resumption date of schools for Nigeria.

He said he would prefer that Nigerian students
lose an academic year than to expose them to
dangers.

Nonsense.
That means forever because it will never be safe.
It seems this official doesn't understand what they are dealing with.

Children and young adults are largely immune to Coronavirus
but the clueless government allows unrestricted adult movement
while locking down the safer kids.
