School Reopening Without Adherence To COVID-19 Protocols Dangerous — ASUU by Trust22(m): 8:49pm On Sep 06, 2020
ON SEPTEMBER 6, 2020.

The Academic Staff Union of Universities
(ASUU), University of Ibadan Chapter, has
warned against the reopening of schools
without provisions for schools to meet
COVID-19 precautionary guidelines.

Its chairman, Prof. Ayo Akinwole, stated this in
a release he made available to newsmen in
Ibadan on Sunday.

Akinwole stated that the negative impacts of
the COVID-19 pandemic on schools could be
enormous if responsibility was not taken to
ensure safety.

He warned that no pecuniary gains would be
more than the lives of lecturers and their
students.

Akinwole noted that before COVID-19 pandemic,
public varsities were overcrowded with
students and hostel facilities took more than
its capacity.

He then warned parents not to jubilate at the
news of a possible reopening of schools.
However, they should ask the government to
put measures in place so as not to have a
surge in COVID-19 that might happen as a
result of ill-thought-out reopening, he said.

“What we are simply saying is that the
Federal Government should adhere to their
own set guidelines.

“Our position, as a responsible union in all
these, is that; throwing schools open in the
midst of all these, is an open invitation to the
tragic explosion of the COVID-19 scourge on a
scale never witnessed anywhere since its
outbreak.”

He said that the union was aware that there
had been agitations from some quarters for
the government to reopen schools.
He said that those leading the campaign are
the proprietors of private universities.
He said, “ASUU is not in any way opposed to
this call.

“However, Nigerians should honestly
interrogate this position. Has the Nigerian
government met the Nigeria Centre for Disease
Control (NCDC) criteria on COVID – 19
protocols in our institutions?

“COVID-19 pandemic is still very much with us.
It is in recognition of this fact that the
government itself has rolled out certain
conditions to be met before schools are
reopened.”

According to the ASUU chairman, How many of
our public institutions can confidently vouch
for the safety of our children given the
available facilities such as the provision of
running water for handwashing; social
distancing among students.

Did he list others to include: the use of
recommended face masks and shields, which are
key components of NCDC protocols?

Useless, old people who should have led the country on how to find cure for the deadly virus looked away during it rampaging and failed to advise the government what to put in place to avoid it spreading finally have something to say. Atlas, what they have to say is gibberish and inconsequential they have no concern for their students but for themselves. You failed to advise the government since all these months, you can as well shut it now
