The Federal Government said on Thursday that schools across the nation would soon reopen but that it would not be in two weeks as has been speculated in some quarters.

Minister of State for Education, Chukwuemeka Nwajiuba, stated this on Thursday during the briefing by the Presidential Task Force on COVID-19 in Abuja.

According to Nwajiuba who was responding to questions from the journalists on when the government plans to reopen schools following the easing of the lockdown, schools would be reopened when the safety of the school children could be guaranteed.

He said the government did not want to endanger the lives of the school children and further spread the coronavirus in the society.

According to him, the ministry of Education was working with other relevant stakeholders and agencies of government to put necessary measures in place that would guarantee the safety of children before the schools are reopened.

Nwajiuba said: “We all are seriously interested in reopening and I believe we will reopen soon. But I can’t confirm what your children said that we will reopen in two weeks.

“The issue around reopening has nothing to do with the availability of the schools or not. It has to do with national governance. The idea of shutting down the schools has nothing to do with the schools per se.

“You heard the chairman of the Presidential Task Force on COVID-19, the SGF, keep saying it is a national response. It is a single national response and everything we do flows from that.

“When they determine, I’m sure you have seen all the experts here, that there is the measure of safety to which we can expose our children, we will gladly do that. We are watching and we are working with all bodies within and outside the country.

“The five countries of West African Examination Council (WAEC) are meeting and I just came out of a meeting with African Union (AU) Ministers of Education, everybody is concerned as you are. We hope to reopen very soon.

“This morning, I met with the Ministry of Science and Technology. We are looking at putting a system in place that can disinfect every child as he goes into a school and disinfect him as he goes out.

“If we resource our schools properly we can begin to reopen. But we must be able to ensure that the children go in safe and come out safe and not become a conduit for further infection in society.”
