We now have sufficient information to make decision on school reopening — Minister

The Minister of State for Education, Mr Emeka Uwajiuba, says the ministry now has sufficient information to make decision on school reopening.

Uwajiuba said there was sufficient information, considering the reopening of schools, adding however that until such decision is presented to the PTF, the decision for the closure of school remained intact. “I am constrained to refute this allegation that some of our brothers in the media reported that I said Coronavirus is a sham.“None of those things happened, Coronavirus is real, may be they could not understand my grammar,” he said.

According to him, we have conducted survey and parents have said that they are not willing to experiment with their children and wards by sending them to school.
