Amid the resurgence of COVID-19, the National Association of Nigerian Students, NANS, has urged the Federal government not to stop the resumption of academic activities.
Asefon, in a statement, said government should address the issue of the resurgence in COVID-19, rather than stop the resumption of schools.
According to Asefon: “Rather than postpone schools’ resumption, it has become imperative to address the alarming spread of COVID-19 and rising cases of deaths from a position of environmental strategy and human coordination since the lockdown mechanism can no longer be a mitigating option in the face of our economic reality.
“Consequently, the National Association of Nigerian Students is undertaking to prevail on students union bodies to set up Students Task Force Against COVID-19 in every school, while asking the Federal Government to rejig its basic COVID guidelines for schools resumption.”
