Five months after the first COVID 19 lockdown was announced, Schools in Nigeria have remained under lock and key.

As Africa’s most populated country, Nigeria has been greatly hit by the raging pandemic and the chaos that followed suit. Businesses such as Schools, private owned companies have all been suffering from harsh economic times, the government owned agencies have also not been spared. Its a difficult time for everyone.

Nevertheless, experts says everyone should be prepared to live with the pandemic. ‘It is not going anywhere, anytime soon. We must accept it and learn how to survive in the midst of it,’ an economic expert who spoke with africanewsplus said.

It becomes of no surprise when the Nigerian government announced the reopening of schools for graduating student to write their final examinations. Students in Primary 6 or Basic 6, JSS 3 and SS3 have been asked to return to school for their final exams.

This announcement by the government has elicited diverse reactions from both the parents and students.

africanewsplus Correspondent went into town to get the reactions of Residents of Lagos state.

A student of Isheri Senior Grammer School, Tunde (not real name), commended the Lagos State governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu for the effort he has made in re-opening schools for final year students.

Tunde said he feels lucky to be resident in the state because unlike others states in the country, the level of preparedness by Lagos to ensure the safety of both students and teachers is top notch.

“I thank the Lagos State governor for re-opening schools for we the final year students, because we’re about to write our senior WAEC, and if we don’t this year, it would cause so much problem writing it next year with upcoming sets.”

Recounting his experience on his first day of resumption, Tunde said both the students and teachers complied with all safety precautions.

“Everybody wore a mask and we were not more than 10 in a class. We closed early than our usual time, just four hours for each day, they released us at 12noon instead of 2pm, so that’s a really good way to reduce the spread of the virus,” Tunde said.

Lagos state is the economic centre of the West Africa Nation and was the state to report the first case of COVID-19 in Nigeria.

Months after, Lagos still leads in the munbers of COVID-19 cases reported and also in the number of Deaths recorded.
