Some stakeholders in the education sector have condemned the policy somersault by the Federal Government on when schools in the country will reopen and when final year students in Senior secondary schools will write their terminal examinations.
“The popular opinion at the meeting was that those set of students be allowed to resume and sit for their exams. To now say no to such a suggestion is very unfortunate. We are still studying the statement by Minister Adamu and we will react appropriately. One thing is certain, we cannot continue to toy with the future of our children.
However, the National President of NAPST, Mr. Akhigbe Olumhense, lambasted the government for the policy somersault. “In Europe where schools have reopened, there has been no spike in the number of cases. Unfortunately, in Nigeria, there is no support for private schools. In some other climes, palliatives and support are given to teachers in private schools and the owners.
