Minister of Education Emeka Nwajiuba on the daily briefing of the Presidential task force on COVID-19 today June 8 disclosed that schools might reopen soon in the country as soon as interstate lockdown is lifted in the country.

In his words;

"You heard about neighbouring countries that reopened and shut down again. You have heard about numbers spiking as a result of reopening the schools. Of all the things I would like to do, I wouldn’t want to experiment with your children.

What we are planning is to actually bring in those exit years first as soon as those who are in charge of the blockade lift it because there is no way we can open our schools if teachers cannot come.

So, we are looking at somewhere after when this interstate lockdown is lifted because we need to have that kind of openness for even the children to move” he said
