According to report reaching oyogist.com, the Nigerian Government has said it was not in support of the resumption of schools on Monday, January 18, 2021.
The Minister of Education, Adamu Adamu said this during the briefing of the Presidential Task Force, PTF, on COVID-19, on Monday.
He said “We sat down, looked at the figures and we took the decision that schools should not open.
“Unfortunately, we have to state this because it is supposed to be a collective decision, but you must understand that the schools we’re talking about, the Federal Government has only about 100 out of thousands of schools.
“The schools are under the jurisdiction of states and just as the PTF was unanimous in saying that schools should not open, states were unanimous that schools should open.”
“So, we have to compromise and as PTF we shall monitor what is happening on a daily basis. There could be some review again”
