Minister of Education speaks on schools resumption

The Minister of State for Education, Emeka Nwajiuba, has said schools may reopen in Nigeria, when the ban on interstate travel has been lifted

The Minister stated this during the Presidential Task Force (PTF) on COVID-19 daily briefing in Abuja on Monday.

Schools were shut down nationwide since March by Federal Government in an attempt to curtail the outbreak of coronavirus in the country.

“As soon as those in charge of the blockade lift it because there is no way we can open our schools if teachers can’t come. We are looking at somewhere after the interstate lockdown is lifted.

“Because we will need that kind of openness for the children to move,” He said.
