Fresh hope has been ushered in over resumption of schools in the country as The Minister of State for Education, Mr Chukwuemeka Nwajiuba on Tuesday presented to the National Assembly a proposed date for the reopening of schools across the country as a post COVID-19 measure.
The Minister of State for Education, Mr. Chukwuemeka Nwajiuba made the presentation during a meeting with the Senate Committee on Basic and Secondary Education.
The Minister said what federal government has now is a proposal which will also be presented to the Senate at large as it was done for House of Representatives.

“We don’t want to make it known at this time so that some people will not take our proposed guidelines for school reopening.
“Even if the Senate has not called us, we would have come to you to discuss with you because we have already discussed with the House of Representatives.
“The documents were presented to you so that you can criticise and make inputs as major stakeholders.”
Mr. Nwajiuba also warned against plans to reopen schools by some states against the directives of the federal government.
The FG had in March shut down schools across the Nation as part of measures to curb the spread of the novel coronavirus disease.
