Presidency Makes Clarification On Reopening Of Schools

 

The Presidency on Tuesday revealed an update on school resumption following the gradual relaxation of the lockdown ordered by President Muhammadu Buhari due to the outbreak of COVID-19.

 

Recall that Buhari had ordered a gradual relaxation of the lockdown starting from Monday next week, but was, however, silent on the reopening of schools.

 

However, Buhari’s spokesperson, Femi Adesina while featuring on TVC, said schools may re-open for those about to take exams.

 

Adesina said candidates about to take West African Examinations Council (WAEC) and other examinations may be allowed to go back to school.

 

He said: “If you look at Germany, they gradually reduced their lockdown by opening the schools for those who have exams.
